About Our Camp
Camp Gan Israel of the Quad Cities is part of the largest and fastest growing network of Jewish day camps in the world. The CGI experience is about much more than a physical break from school or the usual summer routine. It's about strengthening children's bodies and minds, and combining the fun and excitement of summer break and camp with educational experiences that are innovative, entertaining, and engaging.
Camp Gan Israel is geared toward all Jewish children ages 3 to 10, regardless of affiliation or religious observance. A warm and vivacious Jewish atmosphere sets the tone for camp activities, instilling a spirit of positivity and self-confidence in all of our unique campers. Through lively celebrations, Shabbat parties, engaging stories, and creative art projects, Judaism comes alive in a welcoming, non-judgmental environment.
The two week session is a full program of sports, games, crafts, dramatics, trips and other enriching camp activities. Our staff work to develop skills, confidence and a sense of fair play within each child.
This website will provide you with all necessary information regarding camp. However if you have any concerns, questions or suggestions, please feel free to call 355-1065
Sincerely,
Chana Cadaner
Camp Director

“No one puts more care into the care of your child.”
