About Camp Gan Israel

Welcome!

Whether this is your first summer with us, or you have been here before, we are delighted that you are joining us. Camp Gan Israel is a place where children can experience first hand the richness, excitement and warmth of Judaism in a lively and nurturing environment. The counselors and staff are eager to greet your children and there are many new and exciting programs planned for this year.

Camp Gan Israel is committed to providing a superb day camp experience for Jewish children. We offer outstanding athletics, sports and creative arts programs under the guidance of professional instructors who are all highly qualified in their fields. 

Safety

Safety is our number one concern. Our staff-to-camper ratio is structured to maintain the highest level of supervision. Staff members go through extensive training, including CPR, First Aid & a child body safety course.

Our Staff

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. Their love for the children is surpassed only by the children’s love for them. 

Our Culture

Camp Gan Israel campers are imbued with a deep sense of pride in their Jewish heritage and a love for a fellow Jew. Weekly Judaic themes are taught through exciting activities, stories, songs, games and contests, which are part of the unique Gan Israel experience.
