A battered-up Shnoozy declined to comment on tonight’s horrendous attacks. What started out, innocently enough, as a nothing-out-of-the-ordinary-exciting-night-activity, abruptly ended with a barrage of water-balloons from Gan Izzy’s staff, a sure sign of their discontentment with Shnoozy’s performance. The staff took this a step further, and continued on to force him out of his position as Director of Night-Activity. The ousted Director sat forlornly in the shadows, after disgracefully being lead away, following his attempts at overtaking Matcho-Pillow, the newly-inaugurated replacement. Despite shouts of, “We want Shnoozy!” and, “No! Don’t take Shnoozy away!” the Anti-Shnoozy League prevailed, declaring Shnoozy’s position as Director of Night-Activity at Gan Yisroel, a thing of the past. Evidence leads experts to believe in existence of mystery suspect who may have instigated the attacks, and may still be on the loose.
Visiting-day
Even before visiting-day officially started, parents were already lining up, to find out for themselves what this camp is really like, as well as to show their appreciation to their son’s devoted staff members, who have made all those great times possible.
CAMPERS QUIZZED
The geniuses of Gan Yisroel were put to the test today, as they analyzed carefully-prepared review-sheets in order to enhance and advance their knowledge of Reshuyos, Mivtzoim, the Rebbe, Brachos, and more, as the littler geniuses baked delicious golden-brown Chalos, filling the camp with a tantalizing aroma, physically and spiritually.
For, “Gan Yisroel is made from the best minds on earth.”
THE SHOW OF A LIFTIME
Gan Yisroel’s got it all, even talent. Last night, campers and staff were given the opportunity to display some of their talent (or lack of it), and what a show! A circus! A concert! Acrobatics! Gan Izzy’s got lots of talent, and that’s a fact.
SPECIAL REPORT: GAN IZZY ON WHEELS
When campers are convinced there’s gonna be an overnight, there’s gonna be an overnightWhen campers at Gan Yisroel (especially the BMD) are convinced there’s gonna be an overnight, there definitely AINT gonna be an overnight; there’s gonna be roller-skating (or bog-war).
Skaters World Roller Rink opened its doors to a camp on wheels. Campers had a blast, or just plain fun (whichever), as the wheels spun faster and faster, and even faster, and even faster yet! Half the camp whirling ‘round and ‘round, like a counter-clockwise-washing-machine, is a sight to see.
Of course there’s nothing like an outdoor dinner with musical accompaniment to top it all off, as expected from the GREATEST CAMP ON EARTH.
CAMP TRAVELS TO THE OHEL FOR GIMEL TAMMUZ
The inspiration began days before, as learning teachers, counselors, and head staff prepared the children spiritually and emotionally for the crucial moment when they would be standing before the Rebbe at the Ohel.
Sunday morning, Gimmel Tammuz, the campers envisioned themselves at a private Yechidus with the Rebbe, each facing his pocket-sized picture, as they wrote their personal Panim to be read at the Ohel.
Donning the stunning camp T-shirts, the campers boarded air-conditioned charter buses, and headed for the Ohel, where the campers were given priority over the huge crowd, entering through an express lane, prepared especially for the Rebbe’s campers.
This was of course followed by an inspirational Farbrengen at Beis Rivkah, Crown Heights, where the campers were treated to a delicious dinner, raising their voices in song and hope to be reunited with the Rebbe, once again very soon.
