Points of Pride:
“No one puts more care into the caring of your child.”
Gan Israel-Jewish Summer Experience is much more than a physical break from the school routine and winter activities. It’s a comprehensive program designed to strengthen the body and soul. It provides your child with a rich and wholesome summer vacation of fun and excitement along with friendship and meaningful educational experiences.
Staff
Child development is the most significant ingredient in a healthy camp experience. This is why our staff is the real secret ingredient to our success. Our experienced counselors come from all over the world and are known for their personal warmth and ability to care for each child as an individual. Many staff members return lending experience and continuity to all programs. Each counselor is a role model for our children, promising them friendship which will last forever! Their love for the children is surpassed only by the children’s love for them.
Culture
"Gan Israel-Jewish Summer Experience" campers are imbued with a deep sense of pride in their Jewish heritage and a love for the land of Israel. Weekly Judaic themes are taught through exciting activities, stories, songs, games and contests, which are part of the unique Gan Israel experience. Combined with group discussions and educational programs, these events bring to life the beauty and values of our tradition.
Activities & Special Events
Our weekly program is enhanced with activities, fun shops , karate, jewelry making, carnivals, dress-up days, color war, hiking, bunk competition, Shabbos parties, Challah baking, and .. oh... so much more. Under the direction of our experienced crafts director, campers will have the opportunity to design and take home some wonderful Judaica projects.
Trips On The Go
Gan Israel’s “Trip Days”, which are well known, are geared to the children’s interests, are scheduled a few times a week and feature excursions to many local attractions as well as across the State.
Who are we?
"Camp Gan Israel" is part of the largest and fastest growing network of Jewish day camps in the world. Gan Israel enjoys a well-earned reputation as a trendsetter with innovative ideas, creative programs and new activities.
Devorah and I look forward to our 17th year running Camp Gan Izzy in Columbia!
Many a child has been known to wait all year to come back to Gan Israel!! From our 3 yr olds through our 12 yr olds (and yes even our teen groups!), campers enjoy a wide range of exciting activities and field trips in a warm and vivacious atmosphere.
Our continuously growing camp offers a wonderful opportunity for youngsters at 3 to have their first experience in a real summer camp. The children are guided in organized activity, play & social skills by loving, patient and caring staff. Our kiddies are growing fast, this is the place to be!
Our experienced staffers work to develop skills, confidence and a sense of fair play within each child.
If you have any concerns, questions or suggestions, please feel free to call or email us.
Sincerely,
Rabbi Levi & Devorah Marrus,
