“No one puts more care into the care of your child.”
Camp Gan Israel is much more than a physical break from the school routine and winter activities. Our summer programs are all built on the CGI hallmarks of fun, safety and unconditional love. It’s comprehensive programs are 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. They are tailored to be age appropriate and flexible to serve the needs of each child. Children encounter adventures, excitement, and challenges and each year “graduate” to a higher division.
Our daily combination of Sports, Swimming, Crafts, Drama and Trips has children motivated, excited and on-their-toes. To run our specialized programming, CGI employs experienced counselors, coaches, swim instructors, artists and specialists. We also offer a host of extra curricular activities and programs for the entire family.
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.
Culture
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. Combined with group discussions and educational programs, these events bring a unique perspective to life, the beauty and values of our traditions. No level of knowledge of Judaism or observance is required.
