Can you believe that we are almost two weeks into first session? Time flies when you’re having fun! The weather this week has been great with sunny skies and the perfect temperature to be outside in and around Maple Lake. This week has been filled with fun and excitement including the 5th annual CG Games.

As we get ready for this session’s Pride Shabbat, Rose, a C.I.T. camper, shares her reflection on her feelings about acceptance at camp, and how she is looking forward to playing an active role in this session’s Pride Shabbat.

After an unprecedented start to our 20th summer, we are so thrilled to be celebrating the first Shabbat together with all our campers. The irony of talking about the ‘calm before the storm,’ in last Shabbat’s message, the night before the power outage, is not lost on us.  Thank you to everyone for their amazing support as we had to make the challenging yet necessary decision to postpone the start of camp.  One day later, the campers arrived at camp with an even greater sense of anticipation and excitement, prepared for the best summer yet on Maple Lake!

Shabbat Shalom from Maple Lake! Camp is buzzing with excitement as our staff community completes our final preparations before our First Session camper arrival on Sunday. We are especially excited to be celebrating our 20th summer and want to share with you some of what’s new at camp for 2018:

Looking for some last minute tips for packing? Our staff gave us some awesome suggestions to help our campers have the best summer yet!
