Camp Gan Israel is a summer camp dedicated to enriching the lives of children from diverse Jewish backgrounds and affiliations through a stimulating camping experience.
CGI Berkeley is part of the largest and fastest growing network of day camps, enjoying a reputation as a pioneer in Jewish camping, with innovative ideas and creative activities, to both provide enjoyment and inspire children to try new and exciting things!
Many a child has been known to wait all year to come back to Gan Israel! From Kiddie Kamp to our CIT division, campers enjoy a wide range of exciting activities and field trips in a warm and vivacious atmosphere.
Our fast growing Kiddie Kamp offers a wonderful opportunity for youngsters 4-5 to have their first experience in a real summer camp. The children are guided in organized activity, play & social skills by loving, patient and caring staff who serve all year-round as pre- school teachers. Our kiddies are growing fast, this is the place to be!
Our picturesque camp sites, serving the boys’ and girls’ divisions, contain beautiful facilities, well suited to a full program of sports, games, crafts, dramatics and other enriching camp activities. Our experienced staff works to develop skills, confidence and a sense of fair play within each child.
Our Staff
Gan Israel prides itself on its exceptional staff. All staff come with prior camp experience and a desire to work with kids. Bunk sizes are kept small and well staffed. Our camper to counselor ratio is better than 1 to 4 campers, and this does not include our wonderful C.I.T.’s. Each elective is run by professional instructors.
Our Camp Directors have many years of day camp experience. They are the leaders of our top staff and take great pride in our on-going, comprehensive staff training program. Their extensive experience with pre-schoolers through teenagers make them valuable friends and administrators 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. Over the years, Camp Gan Israel Berkeley has always been dedicated to small groups with exceptional staff supervision. This ensures the best possible care, instruction and supervision for our campers. Our counselors are highly trained, dedicated, and experienced.

Ariel and Adam are both begging me to send them for the entire summer next year because of the wonderful feelings they have. Camp Gan Israel Berkeley is the most loving, spiritual, fun, good feeling, Jewish camp in all the camps we have been to. Both my children are absolutely in love with the counselors, the Ferris family and all the activities, and honestly I am too. Your love and kindness cannot be matched ANYWHERE else. You guys are #1.
All the best!
