CGI Day One

            

                  Boruch Hashem camp took off to an incredible start!! As the campers got on the busses, they found delicious snacks and a drink on their seats for the ride to camp. When they arrived, they were greeted by the excited staff, and then there was orientation and campers were introduced to their counselors. The campers were then given time to unpack, settle in, and get to know their amazing counselor. Following that, the campers were all treated to a scrumptious snack of cookies and milk.

            After that came mincha followed by a delicious supper of chicken and rice and afterwards came an awesome night activity full of singing and fun. Then right before maariv each bunk made their own cheer, then after maariv, the campers were given some more time to finish unpacking and get ready for lights out and then were treated to some chassidishe maases from their counselors.“Ah gutte nacht Gan Yisroel!”

          “Modeh ani l’fanecha…” After waking up after a refreshing night’s sleep, the campers were ready for a fresh exciting day. Starting off with an amazingly chayusdike davening, with each bunk trying to get the most points possible, everyone knew we were in for an amazing day. At breakfast, there was bread, eggs, and a few yummy cereals for the campers to choose from. Then came the speech from the learning directors and the first learning class with their amazing learning teachers.

         Subsequently, the campers enjoyed activities/sports followed by a delicious pizza lunch and more activities. Following activities came more learning classes, then came lowering of the flag and mincha.The highlight of the day was a breathtaking ventriloquist! Then came a grand announcement about mishnayos baal peh followed by maariv, krias shema, and lights out.

An amazing last week in camp!!

The week started off in the Turkey basketball where campers prepared to leave camp due to numerous code violations, when in fact it was a breakout for color war! Teams Tevia and the winning team of Kmoso battled it out through the plays and skits, from MBP to cheering, from the beginning this was a hard fought battle.                                           

The week continued when we visited the Rebbe on Chof Av. The campers reported to their general their various achievements throughout  the summer.

But the fun did not end there, CGI visited Six Flags Great Escape for the most grand trip of all time. From the water slides to the the roller coasters this was most definitely- a grand trip.

Concert with Boruch Sholom!!

The stage was set.  The music on. Mic-Check. All was perfect for the most amazing concert ever in CGI history. With his wide array of songs Boruch Shalom dazzled the campers and staff from the new songs to the old ones, from the classics to the camp songs. All was just on point, but lets not forget about the amazing Fitche Benshimon who from his place behind the keyboard ensured a most amazing night. 

Staff Play

This past Thursday the campers gathered together in Paris fields to watch the staff play. The play entitled Yanai was an adaption of the story of the last Hasmonean king. The campers watched every scene with fascination as we followed our way through his kingship. From the planning to the play this was an all around amazing performance!! Kudos to our amazing staff!!
