***********

The N.O.D. and 4th Grade Divisions of Camp Gan Yisroel-Parksville were treated to bivouac in ‘the Rebbe’s Forest,’ and an amazing time was had by all.

Wood was collected, campfires lit, marshmallows roasted, sleeping bags unfurled, and memories made.

Meanwhile, grades 5 and 6 enjoyed a delicious barbecue in the camp square, followed by a fascinating story from night activity director Shmoozel Leemanov.

    As a former camper and staff member I can say that no one likes the bevowak its boring its cold its wet and it wakes up cranky that’s if they even got the sleep you can imagine what that does to the next day, this is one practice that should be banned
