Parent Testimonials

We think our camp is great, but don't take our word for it, see what our happy campers parents have to say..
"Camp Gan Izzy has been our summer time go to for 4 years and counting. In a world where it's more and more rare for kids to have good, old fashioned, dirty after a day of it, honest kids play, we so appreciate this camp experience. Your kids will come home singing, tired,and excited about the next days adventures." E.W.
"Camp Gan Israel is the most outstanding and greatest camp for children that I know of." Sincerely, Anton. 
"Camp Gan Israel has become part of an annual summer routine. Once out of school, it is time to see our camp family! We have always been really impressed with the level of attention, courtesy and caring extended to our three  children. Rabbi Mendy and Morah Bluma are very warm and welcoming.  We also appreciate the diverse programming with each week filled with fun activities and mini- field trips!  The communication with parents is excellent and the updated daily photos are great! Seeing the smiles on my children's faces in every picture gives me a sense of well-being knowing that they are safe and having fun. My children love meeting new friends and counselors. Every summer at Camp Gan Israel is an adventure! We'll see you in June!" Maria Kaplan

"We are truly blessed to be a part of Camp Gan Israel and feel so lucky that it is in our neighborhood. The staff are wonderful & friendly, especially Morah Bluma and Rabbi Mendy. They are so creative, talented, great with kids and very easy going people.The staff always greet their clients with a smile and you can truly say they all enjoy having fun with kids. Camp Gan Israel is very safe  and organized place with written daily activities. They spend a lot of time outside exploring around San Diego.My child always returns home happy with lots of good stories and excitement, hoping to return to Camp the next morning. I highly recommend this particular camp for your kids because they will also learn about Jewish history and holidays.

"Our kids LOVE CGI camps. We've been participating in CGI camps for 4 years. Our boys love the variety and flexibility of the activities. The  counselors are warm and welcoming.  Bluma is the best organizer and Rabbi Mendy is all about fun.  My kids prefer to go to CGI rather than YMCA or any other camp in town. They make new friends and are in a Jewish educational environment. We just learned that they know so many Jewish traditional  stories just from participating in CGI camps. You won't be able to find a camp with such reasonable prices like CGI.  We are always looking forward to hear about the next upcoming  camp."

“Our daughter has attended Camp Gan Israel in Poway for a few years. We have been very happy with her camp experience. The activities planned each week are fun, exciting and variable so that the children are well stimulated and eager to find out what activities are planned for each day. The outings planned have been very enjoyable for the children and many have encouraged a love of nature. From going on local hikes, observing the growth of chicks, to visiting museums and Legoland, each day has been thoroughly enjoyed. The children are well taken care of in a nurturing environment where their Jewish identity is fostered. Our daughter has always enjoyed her days at camp in a safe, happy environment. I would readily recommend  this camp to all parents looking for structured summer activities.” Leon & Belinda Schneiderman
