New girls overnight camp CGI United has opened registration until 7:00 pm EST on Thursday.
Sheina Oster and Malka Aisenbach, both active members of the Bais Rivkah faculty during the year, have consulted with leading mechanchos of all Crown Heights schools regarding the opening of the camp. It promises to provide a fun, warm, Chassidishe experience.
It will be geared towards Lubavitch girls around the U.S. who have completed grades 4-10.
CGI United staff will be trained by Rabbi Zalmy Kudan. The training course is endorsed by the American Camp Association’s Educational Endorsement Program.

With the decrease of options for children’s summer recreation, the camp is opening up to fill the need for young girls to have an overnight camp experience this summer.
Mrs. Sheina Oster and Malka Aisenbach, both with many years of camp experience, will be directing Camp Gan Yisroel United in the Pocono Mountains, Pennsylvania.
The camp will be geared towards girls in grades 5-10 from the United States who have been affected by the chaos and upheaval of the Coronavirus pandemic. It will provide respite and an island of positive energy and fun for the children who have been unable to attend school and experience structural stability.
CGI United is committed to giving a warm, Chassidishe atmosphere, in line with the Rebbe’s clear Horaos on the importance of camp for children.
The camp is endorsed by various veteran mechanchos who make up the team of advisors behind CGI United.
The camp will have 3 simultaneous programs:
CGI Girls: Grades 5-7
CGI Teens: Grades 8-9
Waitress program: 10th grade
Each program will have its own schedule and headstaff.
Counselors for CGI Girls will be accepted from 11th and 12th grade.
CGI United has obtained beautiful campgrounds to host the important summer program. With multiple fields, various sports courts, a pool, lake, state-of-the-art cabins, and on-site activities, the campgrounds will be a welcoming and comfortable host to our girls this summer.
A special thank you is extended to Rabbi Avraham and Mrs. Dinie Gurary, directors of Camp Pardas Chana, for their guidance and the transfer of majority of their staff to CGI United.
Registration will be opening shortly at http://www.cgiunited.org

You saved the day again
BH
please
we miss them
What are the dates?
I’m sure camp will be amazing.
Perhaps get Rabbi and Mrs Gurary to join – they live and breath camp. There experience will only be a huge asset.
Parents will be happy to know that in addition to amazing people running camp there are people that have years of experience involved
They have made a wonderful campin past, and IYH in the future too!
Hatzlacha raba Sheina!!
How gracious of the Gurarys to help out! Best people ever!
Would be in everyone’s best interest, including the directors, to have the Gurarys on board. Their expertise and experience would be so beneficial to the directors, staff, and campers. Would do wonders in making parents feel that their child is in competent and familiar hands in unfamiliar territory.
This sounds amazing!! Thank you!
I hope they open up for 4th grade!
My daughter is devastated!
There is a camp called Camp Emunah where the rebbe visited several times. They are opening in the Poconos and going in to big debt to make this happen.
Why can’t everyone join instead of everyone opening their own camp and more and more debt.

With all due respect to Camp Emunah for their hard work over many years, every moisad has different styles, and there is a need for and interest in other camps.
With Pardes Chana and other wonderful camps closing, I am happy to hear that this new option is available.
Hatzlacha!
We are very happy that there is a camp to send to,
But it is not under pardas chanah,
It has nothing to do with pardas chanah
Rabbi Gurary
camp emunah doesn’t have unlimited space and there are some camps that were unable to open which leaves plenty of people left without summer plans. I think making another camp is giving more people the opportunity to have an awesome summer.
i hope they open for 4th grade too
Beautiful initiative!
If Rabbi Zalmy Kudan is training the counselors, this camp will be amazing.
