all about gan israel

Camp Gan Israel is part of the largest and fastest growing network of Jewish day camps in the world. Our camp enjoys a well-earned reputation as a trendsetter 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! From pre-scholars to our senior division, campers will enjoy a wide range of exciting activities and field trips in a warm and vivacious atmosphere.

The real secret to our success lies in our outstanding staff. Our counselors are known for their personal warmth and their 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 friendships which will last forever. Their love for the children is perhaps surpassed only by the children’s love for them.
