Didn’t the Rebbe scream at a Farbrengen of Yud Bais Tammuz 5745 – “s’iz ah vilde zach?!” about the concept of kids spending their time with “fun” instead of sitting and learning?!

I went in summer of 1990 and we didn’t have a pool or bikes and I don’t remember the head staff walking around in white shirts. What happened to camp t-shirts with the gan yisroel logo on the front that everyone used to wear???
