Campers returned from the trips excited and exhausted- ready to be served a late dinner of chicken wings and couscous, ABC soup, salad, and the sweetest cantaloupe!
Grade 5 had an amazing trip to Ottawa! They got to watch the “changing of the guards”, tour the mint, and many other stops along the way. Grade 4 went to Funtropolis- an indoor park in Laval Quebec. A great time was enjoyed by all!
Section C were treated to their very own Chinese event prepared for them by their hard work staff; royally set up for them on the staff sunporch. The boys enjoyed a variety of Chinese food including “general Tao chicken”, vegetable rice, eggrolls etc. Another amazing event.
The goats are back! Campers are enjoying watching and caring for our two visiting goats: very popular amongst our campers!
The trips continue along with all the onsite activity and excitement!
Grade 6 went trampolining yesterday and grade 7 went white water rafting in shifts. They all returned to join for supper of meatballs and spaghetti along with salad and sweet cantaloupe.
Last night, campers enjoyed a special Tu-B’av edition of dance night- along with live music and lots of spirit, in celebration of this very special day!
Early this morning, while all was still, grade 5 campers were woken for their full day trip to Ottawa! The excitement was real as they boarded the buses quickly – to make it in time for the changing of the guards and a lot more!
Grade 4 is getting ready to depart on their very own trip- details to follow.
Mazel tov to Sholom Smetana from Montreal and Shlomo Pape from NY, upon their Hanochas Tefillin celebrated here in camp with their family and friends! CGI wishes lots of Nachas to both families!
Last night was the grand outdoor staff play. It started off with an introduction to the story with a helicopter landing in camp before night fall, followed by a long performance lasting into the night. The backdrops, stages, lighting and sound system all contributed to the excitement and professionalism of the performance, enjoyed by every department of camp.
Over the nine days there were no outing or trips. Today, Tuesday our first set up buses pulled into camp since the nine days. Grades 6 and 7 are enjoying their outings, while grades 4 and 5 have the grounds and lake front to enjoy. Details to follow.
Shabbos Nachamu was celebrated to its fullest! The Chayos, and spirit throughout shabbos was amazing, along with the Mishnayon bal Peh, Seder Niggunim and of course Shmaryunki!
Sunday brought a sunny brisk day – filled with great sports and activity.
Excitement is in the air, as all campers and staff await the grand-staff-outdoor-play, tonight. The stage is being set with lots of building and drawing in anticipation for what will be a great performance.
We are pleased to share the names of our Talmidim that were chosen as Talmid Hashavua for last week.

It was a meaningful and smooth Tisha b’av in camp! Throughout the fast we had campers’ skits, Eicha and of course meals for the campers.
The Reptizoo staff and animals once again visited camp, to help entertain our campers over the fast; introducing them to the most interesting reptiles they’ve ever seen. The two-shift presentation was enjoyed by all campers.
After the fast, everybody enjoyed an amazing dinner of Banana chocolate chip cake, onion soup, lazagna, corn on the cob and of course salad; prepared for us by our very hard-working kitchen staff and our wonderful Chef Menachem Hayes! Following supper, a beautiful moon shone for a meaningful Kiddush Lavana.
Plans are underway for an amazing Shabbos Nachamu; our first Shabbos of the second session- welcoming our new campers to the most incredible experience ever.
Have a Good Shabbos!
