Known as the premier overnight camp for Jewish girls from public school backgrounds, CGI Poconos has become a place where Jewish identity comes alive through friendship, fun, and immersive Jewish experiences. Over the past 14 years, more than 1,000 Jewish girls from over 25 states and 10 countries have been inspired and empowered by the transformative impact of camp, returning home with deeper Jewish pride, stronger values, and lifelong Jewish friendships.
Camp Dates: June 24 – July 14, 2026.
“The Rebbe was very clear about the unparalleled impact of Jewish camp, and over the past 14 years, we’ve had the zechus to witness that impact again and again,” said Gershon Sandler, Executive Director of CGI Poconos. “Together with the Shluchim, we’re making Jewish overnight camp a reality for children in their communities, giving every girl the chance to experience the warmth and light of Gan Israel.”
The camp is encouraging Shluchim worldwide to think about which girls in their communities could benefit most from a summer in Gan Israel, a place where they will be surrounded by positivity, connection, and role models who bring Yiddishkeit to life in the most joyful way.
Registration is now open, and space is limited. Families and Shluchim are encouraged to apply early.
