Can you believe it's already 18 years since Rabbi Schneur & Ester Scheiman first started dedicating their summers exclusively to Camp Gan Israel Chicago? (Actually, year round dedication is a lot more accurate.) The location may have moved a few times, the schedule refreshed every year, the communication modes updated, even the staff training gets revised to reflect current safety guidelines. But what remains constant is the love and devotion that goes into ensuring every Jewish child in the Chicagoland area has access to a top notch summer camp experience.
And that is the secret to making Camp Gan Israel Chicago everyone's favorite camp.
Every Jewish child is welcome. Regardless of affiliation, religious background or even financial status. In fact, we make our rates as affordable as possible, offering discounts and scholarships when necessary. No matter the level of inflation, kids still deserve to spend their summer with dedicated counselors, forging deep bonds of friendships, creating fond memories.
We're sure you have your own favorite memories of camp. Which is why we turn to you now:
We need your help to continue providing Jewish kids with an affordable CGI experience
No child gets denied for a lack of funds. In order to continue giving a Jewish summer experience of a lifetime to all our kids, generous supporters of CGI have stepped up to the plate. For the duration of the campaign, they'll triple match any donation to our CGI until we reach our goal of $45,000! That means that your dollar will have 3x the impact!
