The daily schedule includes an exciting mix of sports, crafts, field trips, swimming and other activities. These are designed to be educational, fun and conducive in building character and nurturing friendships.

Campers

Camp Gan Israel is geared towards children entering K-6th grade. Children come from a variety of Jewish backgrounds.
