Counselors:

Camp Gan Izzy is known for its exceptional staff. Carefully selected from across the United States, our counselors are chosen for their experience, training, warmth, and genuine care for every child. They serve as positive role models, helping campers feel confident, connected, and excited to come back each day.

CAMP FACILITY

THE CHABAD CENTER FOR JEWISH LIFE & LEARNING

Our campsite, located at the Chabad Center for Jewish Life and Learning at 14535 Blanco Road is uniquely suited for a great camp experience. The spacious indoor and outdoor facilities enable us to provide campers with summer fun. Our fabulous pool is enjoyed by all of our campers. Two specially designed preschool playgrounds, sports court, new playground, and spacious camp room all add to the Camp Gan Israel summer experience.

MINI GAN BUILDING

The Mini Gan division is run out of the Gan Gani Preschool building, a state-of-the-art early childhood center. The building's doors are all controlled-access and locked during school hours. The attached tree lined playground provides an age appropriate, gross motor experience complete with a bike track, playscape and sand area.  

MINI GAN ANNEX AND ALL PURPOSE ROOM

The Mini Gan Annex consists of another state-of-the-art preschool classroom with its own toddler designed outdoor playground. Attached is the camp All Purpose Room used for activities and programs.

THE POOL

Camp Gan Israel has an epic on-site outdoor swimming pool, a source of hours of summer fun and friendship. Our pool is locked and monitored by trained and licensed aquatics professionals and professionally maintained.

IBC CHILDREN’S PLAYGROUND

Since 2020, campers have enjoyed our state of the art, full scale Robinia wood European playground complete with a swing set, an incredible playscape with 2 slides, climbing walls, a bridge, a spinning collaborative carousel, and last but not least, an incredible Parkour set that provides hours of active fun within our beautiful natural shading setting. 

WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING

"Our son had an amazing time at Camp Gan Izzy - he loved the activities, particularly the field trips, and the way the camp fostered a fun and meaningful connection to his Jewish identity."

-Mintskovsky Family

"We love Camp Gan Izzy and have been sending our children every single summer. We always know they are safe and well cared for. The staff go out of their way to create an exciting, welcoming community—not just for the children, but for their families as well. Camp Gan Izzy keeps kids connected to their Judaism in fresh and meaningful ways all summer long."

- Elise Rajunov

Outside activities, baseball, dodgeball, and field trips—always the best days! Israeli Culture Day is a favorite, along with building LEGOs and creating unforgettable memories. It’s a place where kids make friends, and friends become mishpacha. A true Jewish home away from home."- Mariana Weinstein
