What a day! Thanks to all who came from far and near to enjoy the beautiful day – with excitement for all ages including the zipline, boating, water park, inflatables and of our course or in house playground and trampoline. Campers were thrilled to share our grounds and lots of stories with their visitors, while those without visitors were having a ball on the lake.

At 6:30 campers were back to regular – learning classes followed by a delicious burger and fries dinner and of course night activity.

Early this morning our youngest campers from grade 4 and 5 headed out for a grand trip to La Ronde- while the rest of camp spent a breezy clear day in camp with great sports.

CGI wishes a big mazel tov to our two campers who celebrated their Hanochas Tefillin in camp yesterday together with family and friends. Mazel tov to Zalmen Light from Monsey, and Yehudah Chanowitz from Toronto,  and lots of Nachas to both families.

After an incredible Shabbos, we’re excited to welcome family and friends to our beautiful campground for our first visiting day of the season! Visiting hours are 1-6 pm. Please follow parking instructions from our staff assisting you on the roads. Safe travels!

What a Day at CGI Montreal!

For the first time ever, the grand trip brought all departments together for an amazing outing! Campers were greeted with fresh Danishes at the park, followed by a blast of fun in the refreshing slides and pools under warm 30-degree weather. After a late return to camp, everyone enjoyed a late reveille this morning.

Today was filled with in-house sports, lakefront activities, waterpark fun, ziplining, and more! To top it off, all bunks were treated to a special laser tag plus Archery event brought into camp for the day. The fun doesn’t end!
