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.
