Activities and Adventures

A Family Affair
Special events for the entire family are scheduled throughout the summer.They include a family picnic, lively Shabbat dinner, ‘A day in the life of your camper’ and a mock Jewish wedding. Our detailed event calendars and camp newspapers keep you abreast of all your children’s activities.

Creative Hands / Crafts
Camp Gan Israel’s innovative arts and crafts teach the children to be creative and imaginative. The crafts incorporate various themes in Jewish life as well as fun and useful projects. Campers are sure to proudly look back at the craft of their own hands well after the summer is over. CGI has hired an experienced arts n’ crafts instructor.

Lights, Camera, Action!
Comedy skits, talent shows, and auction days are just a few of the programs that challenge the children to develop their innate talents.

Play ball!
Supervised by our experienced instructors, children develop sportsmanship, confidence, and the ability to enjoy all sports, including baseball, basketball, football, kickball, creative movement, and more.

CGI on the Go Fieldtrips
Gan Israel holds regular "trip days" which include theme parks, nature hiking, ice skating and more. These exciting adventures allow our children to really show their true CGI spirit.

Swimming
The Wetter the Better!
Camp Gan Israel is extremely proud of its swimming program where all activities are supervised by certified Red Cross lifeguards. The children cool off by going swimming daily. The swim season culminates with a grand swim-a-thon.
