What families say

“This summer at Gan Yisroel was the best one yet! From the awesome sports activities to the cool arts and crafts, and of course the learning classes I had a blast every day. The counselors are so much fun, and I made friends from all over the states. I learned a lot about being a chassidishe bochur, my personal highlight of the summer was COLOR WAR. Can't wait to go back next year!” — Shmuli L Camper
