Our new campers have adjusted really quickly and sports took off to a great start!
We had our very own in-house Archery activity in camp yesterday. Every bunk from every department had a turn for this amazing lakefront activity. Garbed in face masks the teams enjoyed an incredible time with the bow and arrow archery game.
Last night Section C had their official sports draft. Each camper now as his team and is prepared for some great sports leagues to follow.
Mazel Tov to Shneur Zirkind form Fresno California, and Meir Smetana from NY for their bar mitzvahs celebrated here in camp with family and friends.
Mazel Tov to Mendel Rader from Montreal, upon his Hanochas tefilin – which took place in camp with his family and bunkmates. Lots of nachas to all!
Campers departed to the airport, Montreal and NY yesterday after an amazing month here in camp! This morning, we greeted our new campers bright and early, and had an early start to our new session. Following shacharis and breakfast, campers filed into the shul to hear their new bunks and counselors. Our new campers have settled nicely into their bunks and are heading off to the dining room for our first delicious lunch of second session. Excitement is in the air as our new campers are being guided by the campers that remained in camp from the first session. Looking forward to a great season together!
Later this evening, parents will be receiving an email with the bunk and class lists including the staff. Once that email is received, you can email your son through our website, using the bunk number. Please limit the email to four emails a week.
First session is coming to an end. Yesterday all sports leagues and Clugger teams had their intense and enjoyable play offs. Last night our kitchen staff outdid themselves for a mini-banquet as all the winners of learning classes, best camper, sports leagues, and more were announced. Campers all headed to the baseball field following the banquet for a special bon fire! Songs were sung as they sadly bid farewell to the departing campers!
The last Shabbos of the first session was quite special, with extra spirit, good-bye songs and Farbrengens. Special efforts were put in by many bunks in attempt to be the winners of Shabbos competition.
Motzei Shabbos each division was treated to a special activity, as we prepare to end the first amazing session of camp. Grade 6 had a special “make your own pizza night” while section C were out in the basketball court playing and watching the fierce championship game. Section A had a special ice cream party – with all the toppings! A few bunks enjoyed our very special bubbly soccer game.
Bog war is here! Campers are enjoying the races, scavengers, speeches, lively line ups and looking forward to three great plays later on today. Excitement is in the air! Have a great day!
