The excitement never stops at the Rebbe’s camp!
Our spectacular in-house lakefront fireworks show was truly unforgettable. For nearly an hour, the night sky was illuminated with breathtaking fireworks, while campers gathered around the lake singing together to the accompaniment of guitars. It was a picture-perfect evening filled with joy, unity, and incredible camp spirit.
Following the breathtaking fireworks show, campers were called into the shul for what was announced as an urgent meeting. With the recent talk of President Trump’s threats, everyone assumed they would be receiving instructions for an early departure from Canada. The atmosphere was tense as campers waited to hear the plan.
Then, in classic CGI fashion, the suspense was shattered with the announcement that instead of leaving Canada—they were leaving for La Ronde! The shul instantly exploded with thunderous cheers, singing, and excitement as campers realized they were heading for one of the most anticipated trips of the summer. It was a breakout they won’t soon forget!
After an incredible day of nonstop excitement, the boys enjoyed a delicious pizza supper, followed by fresh Danish pastries before heading back to camp, tired, happy, and already talking about their favorite rides.
Meanwhile, the Section C bochurim headed out for their White Water Rafting and Rope Course adventure. Following last week’s rotation, the groups switched activities so that every camper in the division will have the opportunity to experience both exciting trips.
Our devoted Chassidishe staff strengthened their hiskashrus and Chassidishkeit at an inspiring and heartfelt farbrengen with Rabbi Shalom Ber Cohen of Montreal, following a deep and thought-provoking shiur. The farbrengen continued late into the night, leaving the staff uplifted and inspired as they continue to share that warmth, enthusiasm, and Chassidishkeit with our campers each day.
As always, we are thrilled to share the names of the campers selected as this week’s Talmid HaShavua! These boys have distinguished themselves through their outstanding participation, cooperation, exemplary behavior, and dedication throughout their learning classes. Mazal tov to all of our honorees—keep up the great work!
