• GUCI Connections Last A Lifetime

    on June 11, 2017

    When people say that GUCI is a place where you will make friends for life, they really mean it. It’s incredible to me that I almost never see my camp friends, but they’re still some of the most important people in my life.

  • Reflections From The Chair

    on September 22, 2016

    As we approach these High Holy Days and embrace the season’s invitation to reflect upon the meaningfulness of our lives, I’m always pulled toward the relationships and adventures that I experienced at camp.

  • Trip Week is Terrific

    on July 25, 2016

    t’s a typical morning at GUCI— Captain Crunch with Crunchberries with a side of real berries for breakfast, Birkat H’mazon, another goofy installment of “The Jellyfish Song,” then a Migdal skit. But rather an elaborate story line ending with an off rhyme to today’s lucky cabin’s theme… the crew calls a unit’s trip.

GUCI is fortunate enough to have multiple climbing courses for the campers to try out. […]
