Camp Gan Israel of Brooklyn Heights, a branch of Chabad of Brooklyn Heights, has just completed its 25th summer in 2023. Rabbi Yankel and Yael Raskin have been the caring directors for the past 7 years.
The camp is a place where children can learn about Judaism, have fun, and make friends. It is a popular destination for Jewish families from all over the brooklyn and lower manhattan area. The camp offers a variety of activities, including swimming, sports, arts and crafts, and more.
Counselors converse with the children in Hebrew and English to ensure that all children feel comfortable and understood.
Camp Gan Israel of Brooklyn Heights is a wonderful place for children to learn and grow, and Rabbi Yankel and Yael Raskin are dedicated and caring directors who are committed to providing a positive and enriching experience for all campers.
From an extensive swimming program where every child gets one on one swim instruction from a coach to coached sports and an array of weekly trips to New York’s biggest attractions , Camp Gan Israel of Brooklyn Heights entertains and instills within campers a deep sense of pride in Judaism.
Eli E. says, “my daughter grew so much this summer, she just became a happier kid.”
Raphi C. says, ”My kids jump out of bed every morning from excitement, I never saw this before with any other program!”
Rabbi Yankel says, ”It’s been an incredible summer, we’re packing up now, but we can’t wait to do this again next year!”
Director Yael Raskin says, ”every year people from across the Jewish Spectrum join for the summer. They know that Chabad will give their children an unforgettable Jewish experience.”
