Each section of camp enjoyed the exciting, water-themed inflatables, along with professionally prepared carnival booths, all created by our dedicated staff. Of course, the very popular Spooky House was a huge hit! A great time was had by all—stay tuned for pictures!
Later that evening, once the camp was still and lights-out had passed, our hardworking staff were treated to a special event just for them. The lavish pasta night was not only tasty and plentiful, but also a wonderful opportunity to relax and enjoy time together.
Mazel Tov to Shlome Zweibel from Blacksburg, Virginia, on his Hanochas Tefillin, celebrated here in camp with family and friends!
Plans are already underway for a meaningful and uplifting first Shabbos of the session—Shabbos Chazon, erev Tisha B’Av.
Good Shabbos!
The second session at Camp Gan Israel Montreal is well underway, and excitement is buzzing across the campgrounds. In Section C, leagues are in full swing after an intense draft night that had campers eagerly awaiting their team placements. Competitive spirit and teamwork are thriving, and sports activities have picked up across all sections of camp.
Adding to the fun, CGI recently welcomed some unconventional campers—a pair of pet goats! The goats have quickly become camp favorites, often spotted walking the grounds with their bunkmates or enjoying downtime in their hand-built enclosure.

Following a heartwarming banquet- including trophies and certificates rewarded to our winners in each division, we sadly said goodbye to our departing campers- as buses pulled out to Montreal, NY and the airport. We simultaneously welcomed our new campers as buses pulled in from the airport, Montreal, NY and Toronto!
Bunks were divided – campers settled in and enjoyed a delicious grill cheese lunch – in their new bunks!
