Silver Gan Israel is part of the largest and fastest growing networks of Jewish day camps in the world. Gan Israel enjoys a well-earned reputation as a trend setter with innovative ideas, creative programs and new activities being constantly introduced. We opened in 1970 as a small camp with 18 campers and have grown to become the largest Jewish day camp in the state with 800 campers annually attending.
 
Many a child has been known to wait all year to come back to Gan Israel.  From Kiddy Camp to our Pioneer division, campers enjoy a wide range of exciting activities and field trips in a warm, loving and vivacious atmosphere.
 
Our fast growing Kiddy Camp offers a wonderful opportunity for youngsters 2-4 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 who serve all year-round as pre- school teachers. Our kiddies are growing fast, and this is the place to be!  
        
Our picturesque camp site contains beautiful facilities, well suited to a full program of sports, games, crafts, drama and other enriching camp activities. Our experienced staff works to develop skills, confidence and a sense of fair play within each child.

This web site will provide you with all the necessary information regarding camp. However if you have any concerns, questions or suggestions, please feel free to call.

More About Our Camp

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. Our staff is the real secret to our success. Our experienced counselors are known for their personal warmth and ability to care for each child as an individual. Many staff members return year after year, lending experience and continuity to all programs. Each counselor is a role model for our children, promising them friendship that will last forever! Their love for the children is surpassed only by the children’s love for them. SGI is "made from the best staff on earth."
