Camp Gan Israel www.cgistl.com 636-778-4000 Chesterfield

A Jewish camp should be the place where this can be experienced with the richness, excitement and warmth of Judaism. And finally, camp should be truly enjoyable and an unforgettable experience. That is what Camp Gan Israel is all about. From karate, cooking, sports, swimming and field trips, to late nights, crafts, drumming & guitar, and horseback riding, Camp Gan Israel is the summer experience of your child's life!
