Why Choose Camp Gan Israel?

Choosing a summer camp is an important decision. At Gan Israel of Central Jersey, we believe a great summer should be fun, safe, enriching, and meaningful — all at once.

For decades, families have chosen CGI because we provide children with an exceptional camp experience in a warm, well-structured, and values-driven environment.

🌟 A Summer That Builds Confidence & Character

At CGI, camp is about more than activities. Every day is designed to help children grow socially and emotionally in an atmosphere where they feel supported and valued. Campers develop independence, confidence, and strong friendships that last well beyond the summer.

🎉 Real Fun, Every Single Day

CGI offers a full, exciting camp program — not fillers. Campers enjoy daily swimming, sports, arts & crafts, special trips, and weekly camp-wide events. Each day is carefully planned to ensure variety, excitement, and age-appropriate fun.

🚌 Door-to-Door Transportation

To make camp easy for families, CGI provides safe, reliable, air-conditioned door-to-door and regional transportation. Parents appreciate the convenience, and campers enjoy a smooth, comfortable start and end to each day.

👩‍🏫 Caring & Dedicated Staff

Our counselors are carefully selected for their responsibility, warmth, and ability to connect with children. With low camper-to-staff ratios, every child receives personal attention and guidance throughout the day.

🛡 Safety Comes First — Always

Safety is a top priority at CGI. From Security guards to trained lifeguards at all swim activities to clear supervision protocols and on-site leadership, our camp is structured, organized, and professionally run. Parents can feel confident knowing their children are in good hands.

✡️ A Proud, Joyful Jewish Environment

Gan Israel blends summer fun with Jewish values in a natural and positive way. Through songs, stories, traditions, and celebrations, campers develop a strong sense of Jewish pride in an atmosphere that is welcoming and inclusive.

❤️ A Community, Not Just a Camp

CGI is a place where children feel they belong. Friendships form quickly, confidence grows, and families become part of a warm, supportive community. This sense of connection is what brings families back year after year.

📅 Flexible Options for Families

CGI offers single week and multiple week options, early bird pricing, and the ability to reserve your child’s spot with a fully refundable deposit. Our goal is to make the registration process clear and family-friendly.
