In honor of Yud Beis Tammuz the entire camp enjoyed an “escape from Russia game”. The two best daveners in section C were zoche to learn from a kuntres given by the Rebbe. Camp continued the special spirit of Farbrengens and Hiskashrus with Connection Points. The entire camp gathered in the Shul for an hour with the Rebbe. Together they heard and saw the Rebbe speak about this special day’s significance, and what Mesiras Nefesh may mean today.
Our camp is made from the best staff on earth! Today we expressed our gratitude to our front line heroes with a walking tour of Mont Tremblant, flash mobs (insane Mivtzoim!!!), mountain sliding and a deluxe brunch styled picnic at Rabbi Motchkin’s chabad house.
The staff had the opportunity to relax, renew and revitalise their energies for continued success in their holy work here in camp.
The day concluded with a very engaging night activity. Itzik (our dearest NAD) led the camp in learning some lit dance moves in anticipation for some heavy dancing on tomorrows trip to O-T-T-A-W-A!!!! Section C is off on their own trips today. Details to follow.
After an incredible Shabbos we were happy to greet family and friends for our first visiting day. CGI thanks all who visited from near and far. There was lots of activity all day for those without visitors, including swimming, sports, boating and lakefront activity.
Last night, after a delicious burger dinner, campers enjoyed another amazing in house entertainer. The hypnotist was quite entreating and the Shul roared with laughter as campers and staff enjoyed the entertainment.
Today, Monday, campers are thrilled to enjoy a day of sports – under a beautiful sunny sky.
All sections piled into the shul for the second in house entertainment of the season! World renowned Mentalist Ilan Smooth made the long trip to Canada-and had the campers at the edge of their seats, trying to figure out “how did he know that?”. A great evening was enjoyed by all!
Section C bochurim were treated to a special Mivtzah event- prepared beautifully by their devoted staff. The bochurim enjoyed the late night event of Banquettes and cold cuts with all the trimmings! A great way to encourage positive “hochlotas” on a daily bases.
The entire staff celebrated the birthday of Rabbi Shalom Ber Cohen with a huge farbrengen in his honor. Mazel Tov Rabbi Cohen!
Shabbos is always special in camp! Looking forward to a lively, and inspiring shabbos iy”h.
Good Shabbos!
Grade trips have now been completed! Grade 6 had an amazing Trampoline trip and returned to camp for a delicious late chicken dinner. Section C was divided in half between a challenging Rope course and paintball shooting. The grade 7 bochurim will alternate next week with the same two outings iyh. The entire section returned to camp to enjoy their very own special barbecue.
Sports had taken off to a great start! All sections had their sports drafts and all leagues are not intensely involved in the various sport activities they are assigned.
The Hatomim events have also kicked off really well-and the boys are thoroughly involved in keeping up with their missions.
We look forward to greeting parents and visitors on this upcoming visiting day, Sunday, July 10. Reminder: visiting hours are 2:00 pm- 6:00 pm.
Grades 3 and 4 returned to camp all excited about their amazing trip! The boys enjoyed the trampolines and climbing the indoor park had to offer.
Last night sections B and B+ (grades 5 &) each had a special event with the launch of their new Mivtzah. The boys are enthusiastic about keeping up with all the hachlotos included in this project.
Today grades 6 and section C are heading out on their very own grade trips.
