FAQ's 

We are going on vacation. Can I sign up for just one week?

Yes! 

How do we get a camp T-shirt?

One t-shirt is included with your registration and will be given out to the campers on the first trip day of camp. We require that all campers wear a Camp Gan Israel T-shirt on trip days. 

How does my camper find a lost item?

Please mark all belongings with your camper's name and group. This is very important since shirts, backpacks, etc. are identical and individual items are difficult to identify without a label. Lost & Found items are available each day at a designated area. Please email us regarding specific items.

What if my child does not want to participate in a particular activity?

No camper will be forced to participate in any activity. However, we do urge campers to try all activities and take advantage of the complete program offered at Camp Gan Israel. 

How religious is Camp Gan Israel?

CGI is a totally non-judgemental environment made up of campers from all Jewish backgrounds. Families from all walks of Jewish life attend the camp, including unaffiliated members of the community. An individual's level of observance is not stressed. All children enjoy a shared Jewish spirit through songs and projects.

What should my child bring each day?

  • Water Bottle
  • Sunscreen
  • Sweater
  • Campers need a bathing suit and towel on swim days, regardless of the weather. 

What if my child doesn't know how to swim or doesn't want to?

We will be having swim instructors to help the kids learn and be comfortable in the water. Campers that don't want to swim may opt out. 

If a kid isn't swimming, they can stay outside the pool in the splash play area with a staff member.

Parents are invited to swim with their kids whenever they like to, please notify us before.

Are there certified lifeguards?

Yes.

In addition to the life guards at the swim center, we will have 1 staff member in arm's reach per every 2 kids that can't swim.
