Each member of our highly trained sports staff loves to play and teach.
All campers receive sports instruction with their bunks at least once a day. Campers entering 1st grade and up have the option to select our morning specialized Sports Camp for additional sports clinics.

Camp Gan’s Creative Arts and Nature program allows campers to explore the world around them and to express their creativity in different art forms whether it be painting, dancing or arts and crafts. All activities are taught by specialists in their fields who have experience working with children. Our staff members inspire, guide and encourage campers to recognize and develop their creative potential. Many projects are based on the camps weekly themes.

Camp Gan Israel of Greenwich successfully teaches GOOD VALUES to our children, by providing them  with (1) a VALUES-based activity curriculum and (2) the high standard of “teaching by example” that you’ve come to expect from our exceptional staff. The depth of this experience is matched by the breadth of opportunities available to all our campers in the wide range of sports and activities, led by professional instructors of the highest caliber.

Camp Gan Israel’s traditions mean a great deal to all of us. They provide a way for everyone in our community to feel they are a part of Camp Gan Israel.  We have found that our traditions become meaningful memories.  Wet ‘n Wild Day, Maccabiah Day, CGI Carnival, Israeli Fair, Community BBQ, CGI Theater and Art Show, Friday Shabbat Party and Camp Shows are traditions that campers look forward to year after year.

Campers can’t wait to see our summer schedule with our weekly themes and matching special events and shows such as:
