Week 4 was the perfect ending to an unforgettable summer.

We kicked things off Monday with Krav Maga, swimming, and a dance party to get the week moving 💃🕺 The energy was next level!

On Tuesday, we headed out for a special visit to the fire station, the kids got a behind-the-scenes tour and even met real firefighters 🚒👨‍🚒 Meanwhile, our pioneers took off for Topgolf, where they crushed it on their final trip of the season ⛳️

Wednesday creativity with mosaic art, and when the thunderstorm rolled in, we rolled with it, surprise Topgolf trip for the entire camp! Add in some colorful shaving cream fun and you’ve got a messy, magical day 🎨🫧

Thursday, our long-awaited Treasure Island beach day! Slides, sandcastles, soaring kites, and the ultimate water slide adventure 🌊🏖️

And Friday, we’re wrapping up the summer with our End-of-Camp Celebration, featuring the incredible Blaze Bubbles Show 🫧 Families are joining in for challah, smiles, and a whole lot of CGI love.

We’re beyond grateful for our AMAZING staff and counselors who brought the magic every single day.

Thank you, parents, campers, and the entire CGI family for an incredible summer!

Week 3 Recap – Camp Gan Israel 💥🎯🍕

We started off Monday with some action-packed Krav Maga, but with the rain canceling swimming, we pivoted and had the best time on a scavenger hunt through Target 🛒. (Yes, the campers were on a mission, and no, we didn’t leave anyone in the toy aisle 😄).

Tuesday was a huge hit, finally our long-awaited trip to Chuck E. Cheese! 🎉 The kids have been talking about it since Day 1 and it did not disappoint. Games, prizes,… the whole deal.

Wednesday brought sunshine and swimming 🏊, plus a creative and hands-on activity led by Chana Korf. Meanwhile, our amazing pioneers set sail on the Dolphin Racer, spotting dolphins and catching the breeze out on the water. Such a cool experience! 🐬⛴️

On Thursday, our hearts were full, we visited the residents of Menorah Life Senior Home and brought them so much joy with songs, smiles, and connection 💙. Afterward, we headed to the park for some outdoor fun and wrapped it up with a pizza party in the sunshine 🍕🌳

And on Friday, we are closing out the week with Challah baking, creative activities, and a lively drum circle to end on a high note 🥁✨

So much packed into one week!
Week 4, here we come!

Week 2 in the books at Camp Gan Israel ☀️🥳

What a week it’s been!

We kicked things off strong with Krav Maga on Monday, the instructors had the kids totally engaged. Add in some swimming fun and we were off to a great start 💦

Tuesday was a highlight: our special trip to the Museum of Science and Industry turned into an impromptu Unity Day with CGI Tampa. The energy, the friendship, the Jewish pride, it was truly something special. The kids had an absolute blast exploring, learning, and just being together.

Wednesday we got messy (in the best way) with a babka bake! Each camper went home with their very own homemade babka, and maybe a little chocolate still on their fingers 😉. Plus more swimming and some good ol’ slime making for that perfect combo.

Thursday took us out to Del Holmes Splash Pad where we ran through the sprinklers, climbed the playground, and soaked up the sun. Back at camp, we cooled off with a super fun watermelon activity 🍉—because, yes, fruit can be fun too.

And Friday? We’re wrapping it all up with 7/11 Trips a magic show & challah baking. Families are invited to come join the magic 🪄

Can’t wait for Week 3 🔥
Shabbat Shalom!
