Dates

Gan-Israel winter camp meets for two weeks during the school winter break. The first week begins Monday December 22nd and concludes on Friday December 26th. The second week begins Monday December 29th and concludes on Friday January 2nd. Each week offers different and unique features so that every day at camp is new and exciting.

We accommodate campers that wish to attend for only one of the two weeks. However, we encourage campers to attend both weeks, to enjoy the different features of each and to gain from the full flavour of the camping experience.

Location

Our central campsite is in the Lubavitch Centre of the North-End, at 2095 Sinclair Street. We provide a free bus service for South-End campers. See details below.

Times

The camp day begins at 9:45 a.m. at our “Campsite,” and it finishes at 3:30 p.m.. On Fridays camp ends at 2:00 p.m. to allow sufficient time to prepare for Shabbos. Staff will supervise campers at our central campsite, beginning at 9:30 a.m..

South End Bus Schedule

South-End campers should be at our SE Bus Depot—Chabad-Torah Centre 1825 Grant Avenue, near Centennial, by 9:10 a.m. They will be transported from there to the days activities by bus and will return to the same location by approximately 4:10 pm (on Friday by approximately 2:40 pm).

Camp staff supervises the campers on the bus. The staff will also supervise campers at the pick-up depot, from 9:00 a.m. and up to 4:30 p.m. (3:00 pm on Fridays).

Groups

Gan Israel provides programming for children ages 4 through 13. Campers are placed in groups with campers of their own age and grade level.

Each group consists, on the average, of eight to ten children and is supervised by two counsellors.

Activities are geared to the age level and interests of each group, so that campers of all ages enjoy their activities and find each day at Camp Gan-Israel to be stimulating, pleasant and engaging.

Fees

The cost of the full-camp (both weeks) is only $125.00.

The cost of a single week is $75.00.

The camp fees must be received before the beginning of camp. Cheques should be made payable to “Lubavitch Centre.” You can also pay by credit card.

Scholarships

It is important to us that every Jewish child is able to enjoy the fun and excitement of Gan Israel. If you find it difficult to pay the full camp fee because of financial difficulties, contact us to arrange a fee schedule that will meet your needs.

We will also do our best to assist you in arranging car-pools to and from camp or child-care before and after the camp day.

Sponsorships

Please contact us if you are able to sponsor a needy child.
