Camp Gan Israel Returns In June

The Wellington Jewish Center is once again hosting Camp Gan Israel.

“Camp Gan Israel has a program geared for your child, understanding that all kids are unique and are drawn toward different activities,” Rabbi Mendy Muskal said. “Camp Gan Israel offers something for everyone. We have professional sports instructors, baking experts, dance instruction, jewelry making, karate instruction, trips to exciting venues, swimming, boating, scrapbooking, edible art and so much more.”

This year, Camp Gan Israel will run four weeks, from Monday, June 16 through Friday, July 11. Camp runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. with after/pre care available (pending minimum enrollment) for a nominal extra fee.

“Camp Gan Israel understands the heart of a parent,” Rebbitzin Miriam Muskal added. “We all want our children to be in a warm and caring environment. That is why our counselors are handpicked, dedicated and go beyond measure to ensure the safety and concern for your child.”

Campers can attend the entire four-week season or for one-, two- or three-week periods. Hot lunches are included.

The camp has a younger division and an older division for boys and girls ages 4 to 12.

“Camp Gan Israel provides an opportunity for children to spend their vacation time in a Jewish environment where Judaism is fun and alive and something that they can relate to — not just parts of it, but the whole environment,” Rabbi Muskal said. “In the past, we’ve seen that the experience of the campers has an effect on the parents and siblings. It’s a wonderful way to reach out to families.”
