Edgware Wraps Summer Camp

Two weeks of fun in the English sun came to a close last Friday when the happy campers left Camp Gan Israel – Edgware, UK for the last time this summer. More than 300 children attended the two week day camp returning home day after day with smiles on their faces and camp songs flowing from their lips.

The day camp, under the auspices of Lubavitch of Edgware has been going since 1989. This year was the fifth year under the Directorship of Rabbi Yaron and Mrs. Sarah Jacobs, the newest of the three Shluchim families operating in Edgware.

The children, aged 4-12 benefitted from the comfort of a beautiful and expansive campus that catered for their every need, special activities including balloon modelling shows and workshops and a day with the amazing “Jungle Bus”. And who could forget the weekly trips to Willows Farm, Woburn Safari and Adventure Island.

The older girls were treated to a barbeque/sleepover, and the older boys thoroughly enjoyed their barbeque, and a fabulous Shabbaton at Lubavitch of Edgware.

A big thanks goes to the most amazing group of close to 50 staff that made the camp the success it was, led by Head Counselors Moshe Hus and Lippy Kosofsky on the boys’ side, and Head Counselors Aydel Rabin and Baila Sandman on the girls’ side.

The biggest thanks of all, however, goes to Eliezer Tunk, without whom, on many an occasion, camp would have come to a grinding halt.
