Boom!! Just like that CGI Parksville 5779 took off.We started the day with our last goodbyes and boarded the bus with unmasked enthusiasm, anticipating our imminent arrival to fun. As the camper emerged from the bus into their new home they were immediately greeted by their excited staff. We gathered in the shul to hear our estemeed head counselors-Avremi Baron, Boruch Ceitlin, and Mendy Plotkin- who explained to us the rules and split the bunks. Following which the campers ran to their bunkhouses to explore and meet new friends.
