Our Staff

The secret behind a successful camp lies in its counselors and instructors. Gan Israel prides
itself on its exceptional staff. Our counselors are chosen for their professional competence, their personal warmth and their ability to understand and care for each child as an individual. All staff come with prior camp experience and a desire to work with kids. Counselors are fully trained in CPR and First Aid. Bunk sizes are kept small and well staffed. Our camper to counselor ratio is 1 to 4 in the Kiddie Kamp and 1 to 6 in the older divisions, and this does not include our wonderful C.I.T.’s. Each elective is run by professional instructors.

Our Camp Director has many years of day camp experience. She is the leader of our top staff and takes great pride in our on-going, comprehensive staff training program. Her extensive experience with pre-schoolers through teenagers makes him a valuable friend and administrator to our camp throughout the summer.

We take great pride in our commitment to recruiting, training and keeping the highest quality staff in the camping profession. This ensures the best possible care, instruction and supervision for our campers. Our counselors are highly trained, dedicated, and experienced.
