CAMP GAN ISRAEL is the largest and fastest growing network of Jewish camps in the world. Gan Israel camps enjoy a well-earned reputation as a trend setter with innovative ideas, creative programs, and new activities being introduced continuously. Many a child has been known to wait all year to come back to Gan Israel! All our campers will enjoy a wide range of exciting activities and field trips in a warm and spirited atmosphere. Gan Israel is much more than a break from the school routine and winter activities. It is a comprehensive program, designed to strengthen the body and soul. We provide your child with a rich and wholesome summer vacation of fun and excitement along with friendship and meaningful educational experiences. STAFF The real secret to our success lies in our outstanding staff. Our counselors, each of whom has prior camp experience, are chosen from across the country - in fact, the globe - for their warmth and ability to understand and care for each child. As a positive role model for your child, they'll cultivate a friendship that lasts well beyond the summer. Their love for the children is surpassed only by the children's love for them. ACTIVITIES Supervised by our staff through patience and encouragement, Gan Israel campers develop sportsmanship, confidence, and the ability to enjoy all sports, including swimming, field sports and more. SWIMMING All aquatic activities are under the careful supervision of experienced and certified Red Cross lifeguards. Safety is our primary concern. JEWISH PRIDE Our campers are imbued with a deep sense of pride in their religious heritage. Exciting hands-on activities, stories, games, challah baking, contests, and Shabbat parties are all part of the unique Gan Israel experience. There's never a dull moment at Gan Israel. ON THE GO Field trip days feature excursions to children's favorites that include places like theme parks, laser tag, roller skating, museums, bowling, go-carting, miniature golf, boating and more. WHO'S IT FOR? Camp Gan Israel welcomes Jewish children from 4 to 11 years of age, of all backgrounds and affiliations. No synagogue affiliation or membership is required.
