Everything you need to know for an unforgettable summer at Camp Gan Israel Morristown.
Dear Parents,
Welcome to Camp Gan Israel! We're delighted that you've chosen us for your child's summer adventure. As always, we are planning our camp experience with new activities and exciting programs, promising a summer filled with unforgettable memories.
At the heart of our camp is our dedicated team, who bring a mix of fun, learning, and adventure to each day. From engaging trips and refreshing swimming sessions to a variety of electives and camp-wide activities, there's always something new for your child to enjoy.
Our facilities at the Rabbinical College of America (RCA) will accommodate both the Kiddie Camp and the Boys Division, with plenty of indoor and outdoor space for our campers. The Kiddie Camp will enjoy water activities on site, while the Boys Division will have swimming on site as well.
We will once again be renting the beautiful Sussex Avenue School, ensuring ample space for our Girls' Division to play and enjoy camp. The Girls' Division will enjoy regular swimming sessions at Morristown High School, with seamless transportation provided. During the first two weeks of camp, swimming will take place at the beautiful Stardust Pool.
Our top priorities are safety and inclusivity. We create a welcoming environment for Jewish children from all backgrounds, fostering a community of respect and learning. Our sites are secured with professional security guards, and we have an on-site ambulance for immediate medical attention β ensuring peace of mind for you and a safe environment for your child.
Your trust in us means the world. We're committed to making this summer not just fun and safe, but a truly memorable journey for your child.
Looking forward to a summer of joy and adventure,
Rabbi Mendel & Chana Stiefel
