What a visiting day! Thanks to all the visitors that made the long trip up to camp to enjoy visiting with your camper, the choir, acrobats, our beautiful grounds and the special Siyum Sefer Torah that took place. It was indeed a very special day with a very special simcha!
Last night, section C bunk war broke out! The section is divided into three teams, with the campers doing it all; they are the generals, captains, song writers, play writers, actors and more. Each team is assigned a staff member as adviser, but it really gives our young bochurim the chance to step up to the plate and show their true talents and capabilities. Campers are quite involved in working on their theme and accumulating as many points as they can.
Our hard working staff were once again treated to an incredible steak-evening-of-appreciation prepared for them by our kitchen and head staff! A special head-staff comedy show was enjoyed by all, as they relaxed and enjoyed their time together!
Under a sunny sky we enjoyed a great day in camp of learning, sports and lots of water activities. Tu B’av was greeted with a lively dance night for our campers; and a Farbrengen, with Rabbi M. Wenger from Montreal, for our staff. Section C had a special sushi making event. Campers enjoyed creating, and then tasting their very own home made sushi!
This morning campers woke up to a bit of confusion, as lineup was led by campers taking the role of the staff! “Topsy-turvy” was introduced by campers collecting signatures yesterday, and got themselves voted into their positions of choice! Always a fun day in camp!
Looking forward to a very special Shabbos Nachamu here in camp.
See you all on Sunday IY”H!

Safe trip up!
Grade trips continued yesterday with a large section of camp, section B+, (grade 6) having their turn for an amazing day out. Campers enjoyed an incredible day at white water rafting! This was the first time that most of our campers experience water rafting, and they had an absolute blast at it. Following their fun, they headed to a restaurant in the Cavendish mall food court in Montreal! After a generous and delicious dinner, they returned late last night, in great spirits bh!
This morning after breakfast our youngest campers will be leaving on their very own grade trip. Section A is heading out to an amazing trampoline park in Laval! The huge, indoor facility is the perfect outing for our little guys, as they brave the rain in Montreal!
Have a great day!
The nine days are over and the buses are back on the road bh! While sections A and B+ got to enjoy our sports fields, lake and pool, sections B and C were out all day.
Section B (grade 5) left early Monday morning for a full day trip to Ottawa, Ontario! They appreciated seeing the many famous landmarks, as well as enjoying some great activity in the Ottawa Trampoline park. They returned late last night after a full day of great fun and interesting stops.
Section C enjoyed an amazing day of white water rafting followed by a special restaurant meal in the Cavendish Mall food court. They too returned quite late last night after an incredible day.
Camp had a bit of a late start today for the benefit of those that needed to catch up on some much needed sleep! Have a great day!
Mazel tov to Sholom Schwartz of Brookline Massachusetts, upon his Hanochas Tefillin, being celebrated in camp here today; surrounded by his family and and friends. Mazel tov to the entire family!
