Campers in every section have been enjoying their exciting grade trip days!
On Monday, Section A (Grades 3–4) spent an unforgettable day at the Mont Tremblant Resort, enjoying the incredible world-famous luge ride along with the many attractions the village has to offer.
Section B+ (Grade 6) bounced their hearts out at Laval’s Bounce, enjoying an action-packed day filled with energy and excitement.
Section C (Grade 7) geared up for an exhilarating day of paintball, where teamwork and camp spirit were on full display.
Today, it’s Section B (Grade 5)‘s turn, as they’re out enjoying their very own paintball adventure!
Be sure to keep checking our status updates and website albums as we continue uploading more and more pictures throughout the week!

Sports, lakefront and the zip line have been non stop since Shabbos!
In addition, a special Section C Mikvah incentive this morning rewarded the boys with refreshing iced coffee and snacks!
Last night, the mentalist, Ilan Smith, had us all on the edge of our seats as we tried to figure out how he actually knew what others were thinking. The shul roared with cheers, making it an exciting and entertaining evening for all!
Mazel tov to Shmuel Krivisky from Jericho, NY, on his Hanochas Tefillin, celebrated here in camp with his family and friends. CGI wishes a hearty Mazel tov to Shmuel and the entire Krivisky family!
All sections will enjoy a well-deserved trip today and tomorrow. Details to follow!
As a reminder, as mentioned in the email sent to all parents last week, packages are no longer being accepted or sent to camp. Your cooperation with this policy is greatly appreciated.
Tisha B’Av has come to an end, and CGI is ready for Moshiach!
The day began with davening and Kinus until Chatzos. From there, campers stayed busy with delicious meals, camper-counselor sports games, and a fascinating visit from our friends at Reptizoo, who introduced the campers to all kinds of reptiles and unusual animals.
Plans are already underway for a very special Shabbos Nachamu!
A heads-up to our second-session parents: Campers from Sections A, B, and B+ will be calling home before Shabbos, while Section C will be calling after Shabbos, iy”H.
Have a wonderful Shabbos!
Our first full day of second session proved to be another amazing one!
In keeping with our on-grounds policy during the Nine Days, we brought extra fun right here to camp. The archery, lazer-tag and bazooka games thoroughly enjoyed by all.
Sports drafts were in full swing last night, as Sections B, B+, and C each enjoyed their own professionally arranged draft event, organized by our dedicated staff and held at different locations. With the drafts complete, the second-session sports leagues are now officially underway!
Later in the evening, once the camp had quieted down, our hardworking staff were treated to a well-deserved evening of achdus, fun, relaxation, and incredible food. The staff enjoyed their very own lavish sushi event, prepared and arranged by our dedicated head staff. A wonderful time was shared by all!
We sadly bid farewell to our departing campers following heartfelt banquets held in both the main camp dining room and the Section C dining room. Our best campers, bunks, and learning classes were celebrated in a meaningful and memorable way.
Early this morning, buses began arriving from Montreal, Toronto, New York, and the airport, bringing excited campers ready for the month ahead. Bunks were announced, lunch was served, campers settled in—and just like that, Camp Gan Israel is up and running for an exciting second session!
We are thrilled to welcome all of our new and returning campers and look forward to an incredible month filled with friendship, learning, exciting activities, and unforgettable experiences, IY״H!
Heads Up to All Parents!
Bunk and class lists will be sent by email tomorrow.
Once you receive the list, you will be able to begin sending emails to your son through our website using the bunk number provided.
We kindly ask that you limit emails to 3–4 per week.
