The buses rolled into camp, last night, after an amazing day at six-flags-La-Ronde-Amusement Park! Campers and staff enjoyed every minute in the park, on the many rides and roller coaster, they knew so well – and several new attractions that were added for this year! Everyone met for Mincha and a delicious pizza & fries dinner, outside the park. They returned to enjoy the rides till closing time. They were each given a freshly baked “black and white cookie” as they lined up to board the buses back to camp. BH for an incredible grand trip day!
Camp was treated to a late revile this morning, to help everyone catch up on some much needed sleep.
In the meantime the masmidim enjoyed our quiet grounds, including a lakeside barbecue and water front activities.
Looking forward to an amazing Shabbos, our last Shabbos of first session; as we sadly bid farewell to our departing campers.

BOG WAR is here. Following the break out by lunch, campers hurried to the shul for the division of the teams. With an enthusiastic staff, the spirit was incredible, as the generals and others were ushered into the shul! Campers were divided into the three teams of “Yisroel” “Oiraysa” and “Kudsha Brich Hu”. The three long lines chanting the pesukim at line up, three long tables in the dining room, and three sections in shul, seem to be a really close race. One play was performed last night with the other two to be presented this evening. Certainly an exciting war going on here in camp.
In the meantime the masmidim took a brief break to enjoy a go karting trip and some local shopping.
