Gan Israel sets schedule for August camp

This year, Camp Gan Israel will be held on the grounds and in the building of Temple Torat Yisrael on Middle Road in East Greenwich. Torat Yisrael’s building is completely air-conditioned and includes great fields for sports, a full basketball court and a lovely climbing playground for children.

Camp Gan Israel is known for a full day packed with activities. In addition, twice a week campers can choose the “Fun Shop” of their choice. This is a time when campers can choose the activities they enjoy most.

There are divisions for every age group: Mini Gan Izzi for younger children, and Pioneers division for older children. Camp director Shoshanah Laufer brings all the campers into the kitchen to enjoy fun, creative and exciting activities with cooking.

Each day of camp is devoted to a different theme, which campers explore through exciting hands-on activities, games, songs and more. The daily theme allows campers to experience Jewish values in a fun and lively way. Weekly challah baking and Shabbat parties are some of the experiences through which the beauty of the Jewish tradition comes alive.

Gan Israel 2016 includes three weekly programs between Aug. 1 and Aug. 19.
