Chof Av was celebrated as befitting the auspicious day that it was. A rally was held in front of our very own 770- with Torah, Tefilla and Tzedakah performed by all! The spirit was amazing!
After an early dinner of breaded chicken, couscous and cole- slaw, campers headed to the shul. The shul was beautifully set up for our in house- concert held by Fitche Benshimon! The singing and dancing were magnified when the camp songs came on! Of course, candy and glowing wands were distributed; and a grand time was had by all. Campers headed to the dining room for Mariv, leaving the shul to section C to enjoy their very own concert!
Last night, when all was still, our hard-working staff were treated to a grand steak dinner – royally prepared for them by the head staff!
Section C is hard at work enjoying their bunk war- day 1 today!
Once again, trips begin today! Grade 5/section B are off! details to follow.
After an incredible Shabbos, campers were preparing to greet their guests on our second visiting day of the season.
Thanks to all the family and guests that made the trip up to our beautiful home here in La Minerve. On a glorious sunny day, families enjoyed meeting the staff, seeing the bunks and grounds, partaking from our delicious canteen, enjoyed our lakefront, and of course the CGI choir and acrobat performance!
Today, Chof Av, section C just experienced a surprising break out for their very own Bunk War. Teams were divided, and the young generals, mashpiyim, captains and lieutenants were introduced.
A rally is scheduled for today in front of our very own 770- in honor of this auspicious day.
We are pleased to share the list of campers chosen as Talmid Hashavua for last week’s learning classes. Lots of Nachas!

After an amazing day of sports, learning classes, and water activities, all departments were seated in the shul for another in house E. The Hypnotist had us all at the edge of our seats wondering “how did he do that”??
Preparations are underway for another amazing Shabbos here in the Rebbe’s camp.
Looking forward to greeting families and friends on this upcoming Sunday August 6 2:00-6:00 pm, for our second visiting day. Please see the email sent out for important details.
Have a great Shabbos!
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!
