Our Camp

Child development is the most significant ingredient in a healthy camp experience. This is why our staff is the real secret to our success. Our experienced counselors are known for their personal warmth and ability to care for each child as an individual. Many staff members return year after year, lending experience and continuity to all programs. Each counselor is a role model for our children, promising them friendship which will last forever! Their love for the children is surpassed only by the children’s love for them.
 

Inclusion

At Camp Gan Israel, we are proud to be an inclusive program. Our goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and enriching environment for all children.

When needed, we hire additional staff and dedicated volunteers to help support campers who face behavioral, emotional, or physical challenges—ensuring that every child can fully participate in the camp experience and thrive alongside their peers.

We believe that every child deserves a joyful and meaningful summer, and we are committed to making that a reality.

Curriculum

Our summer camp runs with the same curriculum as during the Hebrew School year. This enables the children to maintain what they learned during the year & advance in their studies. 

Camp Gan Israel campers are imbued with a deep sense of pride in their Jewish heritage and a love for the land of Israel. Weekly Judaic themes are taught through exciting activities, stories, songs, games and contests, which are part of the unique CGI experience. Combined with group discussions and educational programs, these events bring to life the beauty and values of our tradition.

Our weekly program is enhanced with Olympic type games,  drama, carnivals, dress-up days, overnights, baking, bunk competition, leagues, wood working, sports,  Shabbos parties, Challah baking, and .. oh… so much more. Under the direction of our experienced crafts director, campers will have the opportunity to design and take home some wonderful projects.
