About
Camp Gan Shalom includes activities such as competitive sports, arts and crafts, cooking, games, and team-building exercises. Campers take weekly field trips to places like water parks, beaches, and state parks, and take part in special Friday theme days. Older participants can spend time creating and implementing programming for younger campers and assisting counselors in running programs and activities for Kehilla campers. The program combines traditional camp activities with immersion in Jewish themes and culture, and each day includes activities that campers can choose based on their interests.
• Ages: 5–16 years old
• Schedule: Five days per week for eight one-week sessions
• Price: $125 per week
Kehilla is an in-person camp program for children entering Kindergarten through 5th grade and focuses on building a robust Jewish community through old-fashioned camp fun in a healthy and safe environment. The Manheegim (leaders) program offers older campers a chance to develop as young leaders, and each day except Friday they go on a field trip to a new location, event, or program, depending on public health regulations and guidelines in effect. The CIT program is for campers entering 9th through 10th grade, where CITs learn experientially about leadership development, communication skills, child development knowledge, lesson planning, teamwork, and conflict resolution, and they receive a certificate of volunteer hours for the time they spend working with younger campers. Space is limited for the CIT program.
Camp Gan Shalom meets five days per week for eight one-week sessions, with six sessions in Pasadena and two in Pomona, and regular camp hours are 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with before- and after-camp care available. Financial assistance is available. Working at the camp is described as rewarding, meaningful, and fun. The program is led by Camp Gan Shalom Director Annabella Villegas Tornek.
Camp Gan Shalom is part of the Jewish Federation of the Greater San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys, whose mission is to strengthen and enhance the community by promoting and advocating for Jewish values and Jewish life in the greater San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys. It is described as a fun place for Jewish kids from all over the greater San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys to come together in play, laughter, and learning.
