Since 1980 under the leadership of the Shliach of the Rebbe, Rabbi Dovid Weitman, Camp Gan Israel Brazil has been running summer and winter camps. Since then, the camp grew BH every year, and made a great impact on the lives of hundreds of Jewish teens.
In 2022 Gan Israel Brazil decided to take a step forward and expanded its projects internationally, running a travel camp for teens. BH we are pleased to announce that we’ll be running the Brazil travel camp for our fifth year this summer. This once-in-lifetime trip is for American girls completing 9th and 10th grade. Our camp dates for 2026 are June 29 – July 19.
During the 3 week trip, the campers will have the opportunity to get a real taste of Brazil. They’ll tour breath-taking, natural sceneries across the beautiful, tropical country. The camp will travel to the beautiful city of Rio de Janeiro, world known for its beautiful mountains overlooking the ocean, to the Iguazu waterfalls that was awarded as one of the 7 wonders of the world, the city of S. Paulo hometown to one of the largest Jewish communities in South America, and to the beautiful old town of Recife.
Along with the beautiful scenery, the camp will have daily Shiurim, high standards of Tznius and Yiras Shomayim, the opportunity to visit local Shluchim and hear their stories, visit the first Shul established in the Americas (1642), and experience authentic Shlichus.
The camp will be based in Gan Israel’s large and modern campgrounds located in the beautiful mountains in the region of Atibaia. The grounds feature comfortable accommodations, a shul, 2 swimming pools, beach tennis, a beautiful lake with kayaks, and many other recreational amenities.
