In Hebrew, kehilla means “community.”  This program focuses on building a robust Jewish community through old-fashioned camp fun in a healthy and safe environment. With traditional camp activities like competitive sports, arts and crafts, and cooking, campers spend their summer having fun with other Jewish kids and building connections to last a lifetime. Each day is packed full of activities that campers can choose based upon their interests. We will also take weekly field trips (depending upon public health regulations and guidelines in effect) to places like water parks, beaches, and state parks, and even experience special Friday theme days! 

Open to campers entering Kindergarten through 5th grade. 

Gan Shalom @ Home is a multimedia experiential program that provides children with a superior online day camp experience. While remaining safely at home, children enjoy playing, learning, and interacting in a warm Jewish environment that strengthens their Jewish identities and bolsters their social, physical, and intellectual development. We help campers develop confidence, pride, cooperation, and respect for themselves and others. Our goal is to ensure that our campers’ favorite aspects of the in-person Camp Gan Shalom experience, including crafts, games, songs, field trips (now virtual), and weekly Shabbat services, continue to be as meaningful and fun as ever. Our Zoom programming will be between 1 ½ - 2 hours every weekday, with optional themed at-home activities to do throughout the week.
