Our Philosophy
We at CGI operate our camp using our three guiding principles: ‘Safe. Fun. Jewish.’CGI’s foundational structure is and always has been small groups in a program that is mostly outdoors. This “big picture” foundation is ideal as we adapt the “smaller picture” details to ensure we are operating as safely as possible and following all guidelines from our regulatory agencies.
Our Regulatory Agencies
We are permitted to be open, including when San Diego County is in the purple tier, unless we receive specific orders to close from the County. We follow COVID-19 Day Camp Guidance provided by the California Department of Public Health.
We follow the most current federal and local guidelines with regards to best practices for preventing, identifying, and managing COVID-19.
We will continue to modify our programming as may be required.. This COVID-19 page will be updated as regulations change.
By the first day of camp, parents will be required to:
Because of the close contact within a camp community, and to mitigate the risks, we are implementing the following procedures:
As we know, COVID-19 will be with us for the foreseeable future. No matter what procedures and protocols are put in place, there is simply no way to guarantee that COVID-19 or any other communicable disease will not enter camp. By the very nature of the personal interactions that take place in a school or camp environment, there is always a risk of your child contracting this or any other disease or infection. And again, we will do everything within our power to keep your child healthy and safe at CGI this summer.
We welcome you to call our office (858-451-0455 x15) with any questions related to COVID-19. We would be happy to discuss our policies and procedures to help you determine if camp is a good fit for you and your child this summer. If 2021 isn’t the right summer for your family to come to camp, we hope to see you at CGI in the future!

Because of the close contact within a camp community, and to mitigate the risks, we are implementing the following procedures:
- Children in CGI will be placed in cohorts or small, consistent groups based on age (maximum of 12 campers each). Children will remain in their small group distanced from other small groups as much as possible.
- Children will be encouraged to wear masks whenever they are near another group of children – including drop off, pick up, small assemblies, and bus rides.
- Per CDC guidelines regarding outdoor recreation, children will be allowed to take off their masks when they are in their small, consistent groups away from other groups.
- We have updated hygiene protocols for cleaning and disinfecting. Specifically, this includes scheduled times throughout each day for hand washing and disinfecting as well as minimizing the sharing of supplies and equipment.
