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.

As is customary, the entire Gan Yisroel Parksville traveled to New York, to be with the Rebbe on Chof Av. As it was just months after Chof Zayin Adar, the children weren’t Zoiche to see the Rebbe as usual. However, while the children gathered in 770 for the rally, a video screen was set up in the Rebbe’s room, and the Rebbe watched the entire rally live.
Head Counselor Yerachmeal Jacobson emceed the recital of the Rebbe’s Kapitel, and the twelve Pesukim, followed by “We want Moshiach now” and the Rebbe’s father’s Niggun.
Rabbi Sholom Baras spoke about the importance of Hiskashrus to the Rebbe, especially at this time.
Head Counselor Yossi Chodakov spoke emotionally how the Rebbe is definitely with us, however we must still demand to see the Rebbe Gezunt once more.
The campers then all sang together the new song ‘with a Tehilim’, followed by Sisu V’simchu B’simchas Ha’Geulah, and ‘Harabi Shlita’.
Camper Yossi Hecht then gave the Rebbe a Bracha in the name of all the campers.
After the rally, the entire camp stood outside the Rebbe’s room and sung ‘With a Tehillim’ and ‘Oirech Yomim.
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.
