Grade 4 returned today from an unforgettable outing to the world-famous Luge ride at Mont Tremblant Resort. The excitement and laughter were non-stop, and a great time was had by all!
Meanwhile, the entire Grade 5 section enjoyed their own thrilling “on-site excursion” to the other side of camp. The evening was packed with exciting sports activities, a spirited Mincha, a delicious barbecue, and capped off with a refreshing night swim in our beautiful indoor heated pool.
Today Grades 6 and 7 headed out!
-
Grade 6 / Section B+ ventured out to iSaute Laval, to enjoy high-flying fun with intense jumping and climbing.
-
Grade 7 / Section C had an early start to their day, heading off for an incredible white-water rafting adventure — an experience they won’t soon forget!
Mazel Tov to Naftali Hillel Moscovici from Montreal on his Hanochas Tefillin,
and to Yitzchok Bendet from Crown Heights on his Bar Mitzvah! Both boys celebrated their special milestones here in camp, surrounded by family, friends, and lots of joy.
Under a sunny sky with a pleasant breeze, the rest of camp is Baruch Hashem enjoying an amazing day filled with sports, water activities, and great camp spirit!
On Tisha B’Av, campers were served meals and after Chatzos kept busy with a grand baseball game and an animal show—brought to them by the dedicated staff and animals from the Repti-Zoo.
The fast was broken with a gourmet dinner featuring French onion soup, warm knishes, bagels with lox and flavored cream cheeses, a variety of tuna, sliced vegetables, and of course, Tropicana with cake.
Section C headed straight from the dining room to sports!
Once Chatzos arrived, our in-house laundromat kicked into high gear, and trips officially resumed. We began with our youngest campers—Grade 4, Section A—who were the first to board our buses this session.
The boys traveled to the nearby Mont-Tremblant resort, where they are enjoying the world-famous Luge—an exciting ride down the mountain and a perfect way to take in the breathtaking scenery.
After an amazing shabbos we prepared for the fast- with an amazing pre fast Shalosh Seudos of Schnitzel, kugel, Chicken Salad, salami and more – followed by delicious ice pops and of course lots of water.
Campers were treated to a late reveille and are now enjoying an entertaining animal show- presented by the staff from the Repti Zoo from Montreal.

Later that evening, once the camp was still and lights-out had passed, our hardworking staff were treated to a special event just for them. The lavish pasta night was not only tasty and plentiful, but also a wonderful opportunity to relax and enjoy time together.

Good Shabbos!
The second session at Camp Gan Israel Montreal is well underway, and excitement is buzzing across the campgrounds. In Section C, leagues are in full swing after an intense draft night that had campers eagerly awaiting their team placements. Competitive spirit and teamwork are thriving, and sports activities have picked up across all sections of camp.
Adding to the fun, CGI recently welcomed some unconventional campers—a pair of pet goats! The goats have quickly become camp favorites, often spotted walking the grounds with their bunkmates or enjoying downtime in their hand-built enclosure.
