Take Part in History!
At the Farbrengen of Shavuos 5716/1956, when the Rebbe first spoke about the idea of establishing Camp Gan Israel, the Rebbe compared “Gan” to the “Gan” — 53 — parshiyos of the Torah, highlighting that each child is a letter in a Sefer Torah scroll.
Iy”H this Friday, 21 Av, 8/15, for the first time in our 70-year history, Camp Gan Israel will be starting to write our very own Sefer Torah! Bez”H the Torah will be completed next summer in camp and will remain there.
As parents of current campers, we would like to give you the first opportunity to contribute to this historic project by purchasing letters for your children in this Sefer Torah.
Thank you and best wishes,
Our Mission
Camp Gan Israel of Parksville NY, a pioneer in Jewish camping. For over sixty years we have been devoted to enriching the lives of children from diverse Jewish backgrounds. We provide children with a meaningful summer that promotes individual growth. Our special educational program, together with a mix of sports, trips, and fun activities, allows every child to build character and long-lasting friendships. Counselors and staff have experience and are trained in safety. They create bonds with the children that result in memories that last a lifetime.
