CGI welcomes our new phones which were now installed and are being used for campers to make their calls home. BH we have plenty of phones and will offer each camper a chance to call home every 7-10 days iyh. There is no specific calling schedule as all parents carry cell phones. No need to wait at the phone. Please note: calls will be coming from an 845 number.
Mazel Tov to Yehudah Kalman Schmukler upon his Bar Mitzvah, celebrated here in camp with his parents and friends. Lots of Chassidishe Nachas to the Schmukler family.
Section C staff were hard at work last night preparing a festive event for the campers. The campers were greeted by a beautiful “Kentucky-fried-chicken-event” as a reward for their hard work in the “Mivtzah program”. The program was a smashing success and the menu of fried chicken, fries, doughnuts and all the trimmings, took it over the top.
Grades 5 and Section C both had their first Kluger competition yesterday. “Kluger” is essentially our leagues for learning class. It is an intense competition of teams – working to make it to the championship in learning. Kluger gives every camper a chance to shine as a result of his efforts during learning class.
Have a great day!
The sports fields have been buzzing with activity as leagues took off to a great start. The fierce competitions spread throughout every playing field and gym as campers enjoyed great sports.

We would like to notify the parents that we have experienced some challenges with the water and electricity in our new site. Coming from a state of the art Canadian location, we are working with the infrastructure of our temporary home, and are making it as comfortable as possible for our campers and staff. The issue affected grades 6 and 7 and is now up and running. This was not ignored and it was worked on 24/7 by countless professionals, plumbers, electricians and maintenance staff. We are also in the process of adding AC to both our shuls, as this heat wave passes through. We hope to have it up and running shortly iyh. Our staff has been beyond amazing at pulling us through this challenge and we are grateful that it is now behind us bh!
