Our Belief

Summer is a time when children want to be free to explore in innovative and adventurous environments. Camp Gan Israel of the Tri-Valley offers a variety of fun and enriching opportunities to capture kids’ imaginations and to celebrate their Jewish pride. Traditional camp activities, hiking, art, sports, outdoor survival, and field trips galore make for a summer not to be forgotten!

  • We encourage campers to participate, to try their best, make new friends, and to be proud of their Jewish identity.

  • We believe that strong morals and values enrich children’s lives.  

  • Our counselors model it. Our campers live it!

  • Camp Gan Israel is the ideal size day camp for children.

  • Arts and athletics programs are designed with children in mind. They are age appropriate and allow for high-quality instruction.

 

We look forward to welcoming you to the Gan Israel family!
