Give a Child the Summer They Deserve

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

It's where children build confidence.
It's where friendships are formed.
It's where Jewish pride comes to life.
It's where lifelong memories are made.

We believe every child deserves the opportunity to experience the joy, friendship, and Jewish identity that camp provides. This year we have allocated thousands in full and part camp scholarships. 

A full summer of camp costs $2,400.
One week of camp costs $400.

Here is a reality many people don't realize:

There are currently no communal scholarship funds in Seattle designated specifically for Jewish day camps. When a family needs assistance, there is no outside grant covering the gap.

Because we never want finances to stand in the way of a child's summer experience, Camp Gan Israel provides scholarship assistance whenever possible.

Every scholarship we award is funded directly by generous donors who believe that every child deserves the opportunity to attend camp.

When you sponsor a camper, you're doing more than covering tuition.

You're giving a child confidence.
You're creating lasting friendships.
You're strengthening Jewish identity.
You're helping create memories that will last a lifetime.

This summer, be the reason a child walks through our camp doors with excitement, confidence, and a sense of belonging.

Partner with us. Sponsor a child. 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"
