Ten Minutes away from Boisbraind is the Cosmodome an amazing space museum, 15 minutes North in St Jerome there is access to 900 miles of off-road trails if that is more your thing.
@wolfish, I dreamt that I was in the Lamar Valley of Yellowstone and watching a wolf pack chasing a elk and suddenly they turn and started to chase me, the alpha wolf suddenly stopped and howled out I have a dream speech.
Thanks for listening to my mindless rant.
I’v joined cr couple of months ago. In beginning it was exciting. But recently came to see everything is just rehashed again and again. The anti zionists, the pro Trumps, the pro establishment (not many) and the anti establishment. The more Yeshivesh than thou and the “I take pride in bashing the Yeshivesh/chasidesh/MO/Rabbanim/The ones who bash Rabbanim”.
Nothing new and not much which is thought provoking.
You forgot to mention the ‘CR posters are repetitive and boring’ bashing
And if they serve tuna at the tish, its called a tosh tish fish, because tuna is a fish.
@Yser, i am talking about the 70s and 80s. calling card were not around then.
One of my memories is the collect calling telephone call codes, I remember the day before visiting day a boy called collect and say his name was brang hoyzin, and the operator said in gotches dafts de nisht
I stopped using postcards to send home after one of the boys in the bunk wrote home that the counselor is a behaymer and retard and the head cnlr. asked him why he wrote that.
Most of the staff worked for tips and gave it all, much more devoted back then.

@ng are you using both user names on this thread?
@tosher: “wow such bigotry” how so?
Yes this topic is about attention. Two questions I have recently.
1. What is it about attention that if someone “asks for it” no one wants to give it? If someone wants a loan no body minds lending. If someone wants a kind word or encouragement people give it. If someone wants a lift people give him. But if someone “just wants attention” then everyone has to ignore him?
2. There are so many times people do weird or loud or different things and people run to say they’re just doing it for attention. and so many times that’s no true. Let’s say you have a tenth grader standing on his desk in middle of math class and screaming and one of the more mature kids say “You just want attention.” Which could be not true at all. Maybe he just finds it very funny. In fact, if someone els would do it he’d find it funny and enjoy it so obviously his actions have nothing to do with attention, it’s just he finds it funny and wants it done–doesn’t matter who does it.
Or you have a guy who lights his menorah outside and someone walks by and mutters it’s not the minhag he just wants attention. Like how dumb is that? Maybe the guy’s a big machmir maybe he doesn’t know halacha maybe he does know halacha and the passer by is wrong–whatever, why are people always running to say oh its just for attention?@annonyomus jew, an interesting comment from someone who posted over 560 times
@GH, Eating Kokosh cake and drinking hot cocoa in the lodge would most likely be the bare minimum to qualify as a ungarisher ski trip, cross country skiing in pishpikludan defiantly qualifies.
@farfetched
To try answering the first question, maybe people realize that sometimes giving attention to those who crave it may create a pattern of emotional dependency where they keep coming back to you for more in desperation. Like that friend that always makes the joke and immediately looks at you to see your reaction. Not everyone enjoys that.a ski trip where your eat Letcho and kapusta in the ski lodge
@GH snowmobiling around that area is great too
Shabbos take out is pretty good there, great if you’re heading to Ste Agethe or Trout Lake, less then five minutes off the highway
I spoke to quite a few people who went to camp from 1960s- 1990s and the focus was to enable to children to escape the city not to get rich on yinnem chesben, one person told me the camp charged 650 dollars for 5 kids payable over the year [his father was delivery truck driver].
There were federation camps like Mogen Av and Sternberg that charged next to nothing, if you were borderline frum or dirt poor the Lubavitcher camps took you in at next to no cost. The administration consisted of survivors or children of survivors and hence totally different focus on the why they have the camp in the first place.“It’s lashon hara to share anything negative about anyone else. There’s also a general mitzvah to be happy and to stay positive and to not be negative, and also to be in control of all other negative emotions. So, ideally, how is a Jew supposed to express their negative feelings in a healthy way? Are we supposed to just let all anger, sadness, depression, all pent up? Or must everyone hire their own therapist? Seems abnormal to me; like there’s no room to exist in Judaism, to be human. The world has its problems but at least out there, people can freely discuss issues without the shame and taboo that exists in frum circles.”
@haleivi. or perhaps he is being sarcastic because he is sick and tired of this subject being discussed over and over and over and over again.
@bja, you did not answer the other comments.
PS I think more damage was done by fellow campers then by the 19–21-year-old counselors.@CTL, the taste and smell of the fish franks from the camp kitchen still makes me cringe, almost all the food of gvmt. surplus, you were allowed off premises once a week for a hike, and color war brought out hidden talents that no one knew that person had.
“I never understood how parents who keep a watchful chinuch eye on their children all year, hand them over to a 19 year old to be the mechanech for 2 months”
You have 19 yr old soldiers in IDF and USA with guns, you have 19 yr old dropping bombs, you have 19 yr olds driving cars, I am lot less afraid of entrusting my kids with a screened 19 yr old in a supervised setting then I am with any of the prior mentioned cases.@Rocky, our minor trip was always to the Orange County fair, where we would meet all the other camps, the memories the car stunt shows, demo derby, farm equipment, country music and rides will stay with me forever, I doubt the vaad of the camps today will ever permit this, yet we all grew up and raised yiddisher doros.
Another cost factor that is greater today in the chadishisher velt [with the exception of stoliner camp] is that until 20 years ago they hired bucherim as counselors, now they hire kollel yingerlate who they have to pay a decent salary and fringe, and frankly I think kollel ppl are much less devoted to the campers.
@Rocky, The high end camps like Kol Ree Nah always took fancy major trips like Florida in 1977, if anything the style of the major trips went down, I remember going to Lake George, Hershy, Niagara Falls, Washington DC etc. for major trips and this was not a high end camp, just your typical mainstream chasidisher camp in the mid to late 70s
you can always send the kid to the TROLL camp run by the TROLL Mosdos
Your direct quote
“Chanie315, you’re clearly not an educated person. Viruses are something that people can control, look at smallpox, measles and chickenpox. Smallpox has been eradicated, and the incidence of measles and chickenpox has been markedly curtailed. Small minded people, like you, who can’t see past the end of their own noses (“why can’t we go to Eretz Yisroel?”) never appreciate the seriousness of a public health emergency until it affects them directly.”

Letting the hilltop youth run amuck in the west bank makes things worse.
I think we need to end the affirmative action for the settlement, wasting so much resources to protect a few crazies living in in a scattered bunch of caravans is insane.
I forgot. I have two racoons and countless squirrels.
@ AAQ “rejection of Chabad by other groups is not based on recent events, it was there when L Rebbe Z’L was alive”
Totally not the case, when the rebbe sat shiva for his rebbetzin 100s of mainstream chasidisher rebbehs showed up to be menachem ovel.
With the previous Rebbes there was always interaction with Chabad, the problem is 85% of chabad is tzugerkimminer, not chasidim like Reb Mendel Futufas. reb Yoel Kahn etc.Almost all Chabad threads are posted by Chabad pushing an agenda or in like 3/4 of the posts its by trolls looking for attention.

Other than that I have no opinion.@ YO”: “UJM: where did I say R Ovadia was Posek HaDor? Did I even mention his name?”
Its called a preemptive strike, because most of your post are about how bad Askinazim are and how great Sephardim are.@daas, no but BH tens of 1000s of chesed have been done since
