Although yesterday brought some rainy weather, the fun certainly didn’t stop! Campers spent the day preparing an exciting indoor carnival, designing creative booths and then making the rounds to enjoy one another’s games and activities. It was a fantastic day filled with creativity, laughter, and camp spirit!
The excitement continues as campers gear up for one of the most anticipated days of the summer—Topsy-Turvy Day! Campers were seen throughout camp collecting signatures in preparation for the big event. The festivities officially kicked off with the nomination ceremony during night activity, followed by a full day of fun as campers stepped into staff roles and proudly took over their assigned positions for the day. It was another memorable day full of enthusiasm, responsibility, and plenty of smiles!
Campers in every section have been enjoying their exciting grade trip days!
On Monday, Section A (Grades 3–4) spent an unforgettable day at the Mont Tremblant Resort, enjoying the incredible world-famous luge ride along with the many attractions the village has to offer.
Section B+ (Grade 6) bounced their hearts out at Laval’s Bounce, enjoying an action-packed day filled with energy and excitement.

Tisha B’Av has come to an end, and CGI is ready for Moshiach!
The day began with davening and Kinus until Chatzos. From there, campers stayed busy with delicious meals, camper-counselor sports games, and a fascinating visit from our friends at Reptizoo, who introduced the campers to all kinds of reptiles and unusual animals.
Plans are already underway for a very special Shabbos Nachamu!
A heads-up to our second-session parents: Campers from Sections A, B, and B+ will be calling home before Shabbos, while Section C will be calling after Shabbos, iy”H.
Have a wonderful Shabbos!
Our first full day of second session proved to be another amazing one!
In keeping with our on-grounds policy during the Nine Days, we brought extra fun right here to camp. The archery, lazer-tag and bazooka games thoroughly enjoyed by all.
Sports drafts were in full swing last night, as Sections B, B+, and C each enjoyed their own professionally arranged draft event, organized by our dedicated staff and held at different locations. With the drafts complete, the second-session sports leagues are now officially underway!
Later in the evening, once the camp had quieted down, our hardworking staff were treated to a well-deserved evening of achdus, fun, relaxation, and incredible food. The staff enjoyed their very own lavish sushi event, prepared and arranged by our dedicated head staff. A wonderful time was shared by all!
