After a great day of sports wearing our new CGI color coded league caps, and lots of lake activities, CGI enjoyed our second amazing in-house-E! Mr. Russel, coming all the way from Virginia had us at the edge of seats with his fascinating mind reading and exciting sword swallowing show!
Our masmidim took a brief break to enjoy the S. Sauveur Go karting! Always a nice outing!
Section C have an ongoing “Mivtzah” knows as “Hatomim” where campers keep track of their daily progress in various areas and are rewarded weekly for the efforts. Last night, 102 Section C bochurim were rewarded for their hard work with a special event – bringing them back to “Brooklyn” – of course lots of Brooklyn food was lavishly displayed and enjoyed. Be sure to discuss the Mivtzah – Hatomim with your son when you visit on Sunday iyh.
