Gimmel Tammuz – celebrated in a most meaningful day. It all started off with campers being prepared to write a “Pan” followed by the writing of the “Pan” All were brought to the Rebbe’s Ohel on the day.
Section C had the privilege of hearing an inspiring talk by Rabbi Shimon Rivkin, tailored specifically for them. This was followed by a powerful rally for the entire camp in front of 770, where Rabbi Rivkin’s words resonated deeply with all present. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Rabbi Rivkin for his invaluable contribution to our Gimmel Tammuz celebrations.
Mazel tov to Chezzy Brod from Crown Heights upon his Bar Mitzvah, Moshe E. Rivkin from Crown Heights upon his Hanochas Tefillin, and Yossi Konikov from Engelwood, NJ upon his Bar Mitzvah- all celebrated here in camp with family and friends.
Grade trips continued to thrill our campers, with Grade 6 spending most of Monday enjoying Clip n Climb activities in Laval and Brossard, Quebec.
On this special day of Gimmel Tammuz, we are honored to welcome Rabbi Shimon Rivkin, who has joined us to inspire and motivate our campers. The staff were deeply inspired by his farbrengen throughout the night, and we look forward to a special rally later today, where the campers will have the opportunity to be uplifted by his words.
Last night, a gorel (lottery) was held to select the fortunate individuals who will represent our entire camp at the Ohel today. The staff celebrated this special occasion with joyful dancing. Please join us in congratulating our shluchim to the Rebbe on this auspicious day: Motty Baron, Mendel Steinberg, and Gershon Jacobson!

“The grade trips have begun! Section B, comprising our Grade 5 campers, kicked off the adventures with a thrilling visit to “Clip-N-Climb-Laval”. The excitement was palpable as they returned with beaming smiles, eager to share their experiences with their fellow campers. Meanwhile, our animal-loving campers are delighted to welcome our newest additions – adorable goats and sheep!
Today, Grade 6 (section B+) embarks on their own special trip, while the rest of the camp enjoys a fantastic day of sports under the sunny sky.
Last night, our dedicated staff were treated to the first ‘Staffe’ of the season – a well-deserved burger event that was both enjoyable and delicious! It was a great opportunity for our hardworking team to relax and unwind together, and we’re grateful for all that they do to make our camp season so special.
As the day comes to a close, we prepare for a meaningful and memorable Gimmel Tammuz celebration, starting tonight!”
The non stop action continues!
Thursday night, after an action-packed day, we were treated to our first in house- entertainer. The ventriloquist had us at the edge of our seats trying to figure it out – “ how did he actually say that without moving his mouth?” A great entertainer!
Our first shabbos in camp- shabbos before Gimmel Tammuz- was quite meaningful. Rabbi S.B. Cohen Farbrenged with the staff, and of course the staff farbrenged with campers- in preparation for Gimmel Tammuz.
Motzei Shabbos campers in both Section C and B+ had their official sports draft event. The leagues are set up and ready for a season of great sports!
Mazel tov to Shmully Wolvosky upon his Bar Mitzvah- celebrated today here in Gan Yisroel with his family and friends.
Another amazing day on campgrounds, under a sunny sky- with lots of sports, water activities and fun.
