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!
After a lively Shabbos, we went into Tisha bav with the traditional “kamtza and bar kamtza” skit, followed by Eicha. During the day, after chatsos the campers were kept busy with sports; and entertained with two fascinating shows featuring reptiles from our friends at “Reptizoo”. Each bunk had a chance to watch both shows demonstrating, describing, and feeling the unique reptiles that were brought into camp by the professional staff from Reptizoo.
Last night, we broke our fast with a special dinner of lasagna, vegetable soup, and corn on the cob, salad and special warm chocolate buns baked in house by our amazing kitchen staff. Laundry was prepared by most bunks, as camp quickly gets back into the pre- nine-days- mode! Lots of trips to follow iyh. Have a wonderful week.
On Thursday evening, after a day of great sports and activities, campers of all divisions of camp filled the bleachers of the shul for another amazing in house entertainer. The mentalist, and mind reader had everyone on the edge of their seats as he entertained, amazed and surprised the audience. The show was amazing for all ages, staff included! Campers headed to their bunks following Marriv trying to figure out how he did it all.
When all was still and campers were asleep, our hardworking staff members were once again treated to a staff appreciation event! Prepared by our kitchen staff, and the head staff, the dining room was beautifully decorated and the menu of pizza, poutine and lots of salads, was professionally prepared. A great time was had by all, as the staff enjoyed farbrenging together!
