Grade 4 campers had an amazing trip, starting off with a pizza lunch in the Cavendish mall food court, followed by jet boating in the Lachine rapids in Montreal. Grade 5 spent a long day in Ottawa with several stops along the way including, the Parliament, The Mint, Trampoline Park and a night light show. Following a picnic dinner they headed back to camp, after an incredible action packed day! Section C enjoyed a newly discovered “white water rafting” location. The rapids were fast moving and the campers had a ball!
In the meantime grade 6 enjoyed the camp grounds to themselves with special actives just for them, including extra sports! Last night, they were treated to a special Ice-cream-bar-event, set up and displayed beautifully for them by their hard work staff.
This morning grade 6 is heading out on their very special grade trip.
Have a great day!
First day of the session turned out really great bh! Once buses from NY, Montreal and the airport arrived, campers were given their bunks and enjoyed a delicious grill cheese lunch! No time was wasted once the campers settled into their new bunks, and the lake front was bustling with activity!
Last night, lights out was on time for all sections, giving our new campers a chance to catch up on the missed night’s sleep from their long “red eye” trip up here.
This morning – after Davening and breakfast, our campers are getting ready for their grade trips. Grade 5 is off to a full day trip to Ottawa. Section A, grade 4 is going jet boating, and Section C are off to some great white water rafting. We will report on their amazing day once they return iyh.
