UK Wraps Boys, Girls Camps

Camp Gan Israel of the UK recently completed a successful summer season.

The boys overnight was held at Mt. Kelly College in Tavistock Devon, a beautiful boarding school in the midst of stunning English countryside. With state of the art swimming pool, gym and sports facilities, the venue was a big attraction for the camp. Directed by Rabbi and Mrs Refoel Dubov, and assisted by Rabbi and Mrs Moshe Zavdi, the boys enjoyed a packed program of both learning and activities. Simcha Hyams and his capable team organized logistics and catering.

Shmuley Bronstein and Avremel Euzevitch ran the Masmidim program and Levi Neparstek and Yosef Aron, together with a dedicated staff of Bochurim the main program. Mishnayos were studied Lilui Nishmas Rabbi Dr. Immanuel Schochet Z’l.

The girls overnight was held at Morfa Bay Adventure Centre in Pendine Wales. Directed by Rabbi and Mrs Nissan Dovid Dubov and Rabbi and Mrs Zalman Lewis, the camp was an amazing combination of both fun activity including coastering, zip-lining, rock climbing etc., and learning with special focus on the 12 Pesukim. Rabbi Peretz Chein gave shiurim and farbrenged and Mrs Chavi Chein was the cook whom together with her excellent staff headed by Devora Leah Osdoba produced gourmet food!

Shaina Dubov and Geulah Katzman were head counselors of the main camp, and together with an excellent group of counselors made a very deep and lasting impression on the girls. The theme was the Rebbe as our guide on a flight to Moshiach and the song and dance was incredible. Mushky Liberow, Aidele Oster and Bina Gorman headed the teens.

Rabbi Nissan Dovid Dubov, Director of CGI UK commented: “In this Hakhel year, the camps were Boruch Hashem really something special. The Rebbe said that in camp, the child is 24/7 in the Rebbe’s camp – and you could feel it! The success is due to the excellent staff and their dedication above and beyond. We also want to thank all those who contributed to camp, and look forward to CGI UK 5777 with Moshiach!”
