Section B+ ( grade 6) had an amazing trip to white-water-rafting. After a brief training, the campers and staff really enjoyed the intense rapids! The weather was perfect, which helped contribute to the great rafting experience.
Section C were off to Ottawa’s water park. Having the entire park for themselves, they felt at home on the slides and pools throughout the park. Of course the day ended with a lavish picnic dinner, beautifully arranged by their head staff.
Last night, campers from sections A, B and B+ headed up the hill to our in- house overnight site. After setting up their tents and sleeping bags, campers enjoyed the campfire, including hot dogs, marshmallows and of course the great singing round the fire.
We look forward to greeting parents, families and friends here in camp on visiting day, this upcoming Sunday, August 21st, from 1:00-6:00 pm. Safe travels.
Good Shabbos!
Grade 5, known as section B, had an incredible trip to paint ball shooting! Campers and staff returned to camp last night very excited to report the amazing trip that they enjoyed! For most of them, it was their first experience at paint ball shooting and they expressed their appreciation for this amazing trip.
Section C was quite involved in their bunk war for the past two days. Every camper was involved in his team, contributing in the best way he can. There were songs to write, plays to prepare and perform, costumes to make and lots more. The two day war ended last night with a very lively grand sing. The section C zal was beautifully decorated, and every camper, from all three was in costume. The Chayos, warmth and Achdus, were felt throughout the evening. A beautiful grand sing. Campers are being treated to a later revile this morning to help catch up with some much needed sleep. Section C has another big day ahead today!
Late last night, when our campers were asleep, the staff were surprised by the festive barbecue prepared for them by the head staff. The shul was beautifully decorated, with a great campy theme. Staff were treated to a four course steak dinner, as our appreciation was shared with all our hard working staff. After being served, entertained and fed the staff broke out in dance, which lasted late into the night. Great event!
Following a delicious Falafel lunch, section-A (grades 3-4) headed to the buses for their very own special trip. They enjoyed jumping and tumbling in the amazing Trampoline park! Campers returned last night in time to join for Supper and night activity.
As a special event, the entire camp joined section C in the shul to watch their -grand-plays, produced and performed by the campers, in honor of their bunk war. Amazing talent and “toichen” was shared by our oldest campers in camp. Way to go section C!
Grade 5 – better known as “section B” – was rewarded with a special late night – for their great attendance in cocoa club. An unusual ice cream party was enjoyed, as each camper prepared his own ice cream sundae, including cones and all the toppings! Pictures to follow.
Last night, after an amazing sunny day of sports, water activities, and lots of learning, the shul was literally shaking from the enthusiasm and spirit! When our CGI family and Eli Marcus and Fitche Bensimon get together it is an event not to be missed. The talented singer took the long trip up to camp along with Musician Fitche Bensimon; and their combined talent had every camper on his feet. The concert was a combination of the famous Marcus songs, camp songs and of course niggunim, accompanied by amazing backdrop videos. Every camper was treated to popcorn and a cold water bottle to keep them going for the duration of the show. Stay tuned for lots of pictures.
After the younger sections were dismissed from the shul, section C remained behind as Eli shocked them with his break out of BUNK WAR! Section C is now in a zone of their own, as campers were divided into teams, given names and themes! We look forward to a two day war of unity and chayos; bringing out the amazing talent these young bochurim posses.
Early this morning bunks Zayin and Yud Tes headed out to go-karting as reward for wining shabbos competition. Congratulations to all our winners.
Mazel Tov to Mendel Shusterman upon his Bar Mitzvah; celebrated here in camp with family and friends. Mazel tov to Moshe Zwiebel and Avremel Labkowski, upon their hanochas tefillin which took place in camp. camp Simchas are always special!
Once again, we are happy to share the list of campers that were recognized as being the best in learning classes for the week. For the benefit of campers that joined us for second month we will explain the graph; the second column are campers that were best in the class for the week, and the third column are those that progressed and put in that extra effort. Lots of Nachas!
Along the same line, we are pleased to share our good news of the day: every camper in sections A, B and B+ attended cocoa club this morning!
