Give a Child the Summer They Deserve

At Camp Gan Israel Seattle, summer is more than fun.

It’s where children discover pride in being Jewish.
It’s where confidence is built.
It’s where friendships are formed.
It’s where lifelong memories are made.

But for some families in our community, the cost of camp feels out of reach.

A full summer at camp is $2,400.
One week is $400.

And here is the reality:

In Seattle, there are currently no communal scholarship funds designated for Jewish day camps.
That means when a family needs assistance, there is no outside grant covering the gap.

We do , and we can only do that with partners like you.

Every scholarship we give comes directly from generous donors who believe that no child should miss camp because of finances.

Scholarship & Impact Giving Levels

$180 - Give the gift of Chai and help offset camp costs
$400 - Sponsor one full week of camp

Any amount makes a meaningful impact

When you sponsor a camper, you’re not just covering tuition.
You’re giving belonging.
You’re giving dignity.
You’re strengthening Jewish life in Northwest Seattle.

Build the future!

Because of you - A parents thank you

"Last year was a very hard year for our family financially. We didn’t know how we were going to give our son a normal summer. Camp Gan Israel Seattle  became the bright spot of his year. He felt proud, confident, and truly happy. That scholarship meant more than tuition — it meant hope."

"We almost didn’t apply because we felt embarrassed. But the care and respect we were shown changed everything. Our daughter came home every day singing Hebrew songs and talking about how proud she felt to be Jewish. You didn’t just send her to camp — you gave her a sense of belonging. We love Gan Izzy"
