A tradition of excellence since 2006. Fantastic activities and best-trained counselors are a few of the reasons that Camp Gan Israel is consistently ranked among the top camps in the country. But, what really sets our camp apart is the intentional community we create year after year.
We create a loving community in which every camper can flourish. Whether they realize it or not, we push every camper to grow in character and develop skills like independence and confidence while they are at camp. Because there is an important niche in our community for every camper to fill, we are consistently reminded that our campers are free to discover “the best versions of themselves.”
We are as committed to children and their growth as any institution or program out there, and our community is the primary way we support campers in this goal. Of course, we wouldn’t be able to create such a community if we didn’t have such a blast every day at camp!
The relationships that our campers form with their counselors provides the foundation for the Camp Gan Israel experience for which we are known. We focus on creating a nurturing and supportive environment where every child feels a sense of belonging.
