#32 is right. It should be called CGI of Michigan (or Kalkaska,) – it’s nowhere near Detroit.

So is it behind the A-frame like #33 says or up the hill like #35 says? I’m so curious! I was one of the ones who wouldn’t go swimming because the lake was gross… I miss camp!

hi shmuel!

yasher koach to the sponsor: Uri Laber – Huge improvement to the grounds to have a nice clean pool for the kids. (i believe that’s him in the picture getting a tour with Moshe Shemtov)

wow

I must say, that the counselors look so young. they could use a counselor themselves. It must be so empowering to be responsible for a bunk full of kids. Wow, they probably grow so much from the experience. Good luck to everyone. by the way, Beautiful lake! they shouldfing a way for people to enjoy it before and after the camp season. 🙂
