Thanks to all the families that made the long trip up to camp yesterday. Worth the trip! The weather could not have been better, as families enjoyed their time on the beautiful CGI grounds. Our guests enjoyed the inflatable activities brought to camp in their honor, and of course the canteen, the playground; and just being together with their campers in camp. Campers without visitors were given a special schedule, including swimming in the pool and boating on our magnificent lake.
As parents left, campers hurried off to learning classes followed by mincha and a delicious dinner of burgers and fries. Grade 6 was treated to a special evening out; including a deluxe barbecue dinner in the baseball field and special sports.
Last night a few bunks were given a late night of jumping and sliding on the inflatable games while others enjoyed bubble soccer. CGI is happy to welcome this new activity to our grounds. Our new bubble-soccer game has proven to be a tremendous hit with campers of all ages bh.
In the meantime over 110 section C Hatamim participants were rewarded with a special sushi night. Section C Campers were seen rolling and enjoying their very own sushi rolls. Most enjoyed!
Shabbos was amazing here in CGI! Friday night spirit was amazing, Rabbi B. Mockin sang for our campers, and the head counselors did a great job and leading the farbrengen / seudah. Shabbos afternoon, after the seudah, Rabbi Wagner farbrenged with the campers in the dining room. Motzei shabbos our staff were treated to a delicious melave Malkah.
We look forward to greeting our families and friends here in camp this afternoon. Visiting day starts at 1:00 pm city time. The day begins with line up and lunch, guests are welcome to watch our line up and wait for our campers to be dismissed from lunch. Visiting hours end at 6:00 pm city time, when learning classes begin. Have a safe drive up.
Yesterday, the sky cleared just when we were ready to get on the playing fields. After a few small rain showers, the sun came out just in time for our campers to enjoy an amazing afternoon of great sports and water activities.
Our hardworking, devoted staff were treated to an evening out, while the head staff did a great job at replacing them all here in camp. After a delicious dinner at Pizza Pita they headed to the private spa for some well deserved relaxation. They returned to camp energized and ready to continue giving our campers all they got.
We look forward to greeting our family and friends here in camp on this upcoming Sunday for visiting day. Details have been sent by email.
Have a great shabbos!
Last night was quite exciting here in camp! The entire camp filled the shul for a great show put up by Hypnotist Alan Ferlan. Staff volunteered and campers cheered and laughed; was quite entertaining and exciting. Campers returned to their bunks after an amazing show and an amazing day BH.
Section C had a special late night salad night! A lavish spread was prepared with all the trimmings; with great unity a great time was enjoyed by all. They were treated to a well deserved late morning after their busy night last night.
This morning bright and early, bunks alef and beis had their very own runaway. Our youngest campers sneaked out of camp along with their counselors for a great time. They returned to camp following breakfast to join for learning classes.

Section C returned last night after an amazing trip. The section was split in half, half went to rope course, and the other half to paintball shooting (will alternate again next week so that every camper has a chance to do both). They returned to camp for a grand barbecue followed by late evening sports and more. It was another great day for our section C campers bh!
Many bunks enjoyed special late nights last night including the computer room, a grand gaga game, dodge balls and two minutes free in canteen.
