Dear Parents and Campers of CGI Pittsburgh,
As the school year nears its end, the excitement for camp
continues to grow!
After months of preparation, we are proud to present a
glimpse of what this summer at CGI has in store for you.
Exciting trips, delicious hot lunches, professional instruction,
performers and Electivities will keep campers on their toes!
With our exceptionally experienced Division Heads, world class
staff members, and amazing camp spirit, it will be a summer full of
opportunities for your child to grow socially, physically and spiritually.
Of course, no camp would be complete without energetic and
enthusiastic campers. That is why we are so excited to see your
children's smiling faces on the first day of camp as we swing into action!
Our doors are always open for your feedback and suggestions so
that together we can continue making CGI Pittsburgh the best camp
experience for your children!
Rabbi Chezky and Bassie RosenfeldCamp Directors
