This is a warm, accommodating program with age appropriate activities and caring staff. My child enjoyed the learning, loved the interactive play (performance stories, Oakton water park, inflatable slides with water and more) and the nurturing

My daughter loves JGI! She drags her feet in the morning to get dressed if we are going anywhere. But not camp! She can't get dressed and out the door fast enough. All Jewish children feel welcome and inspired––it's a great demonstration of unity and every camper feels special.

JGI has been such an unbelievable experience for our precious daughter. Moving from Baltimore to Skokie has been a big change for our family, but what a blessing it was to have her start Gan Izzy almost as soon as we arrived. She acclimated immediately and has loved every single day, waking up in the morning beaming with a huge smile! She has come home singing chants and saying brachos. She has learned about creation and knows every word to Uncle Moishe songs. She has made friends and has loved each one of her Morahs and counselors. She has thoroughly enjoyed every field trip and water day, sports instruction and challah baking. She comes home elated and exhausted (the perfect combo for an early bedtime🤣), and is ready to do it all again the next day! We will forever be indebted to you and the whole team for creating such a wonderful, educational, fun and loving environment at JGI. Adi will miss each one of you! G‑d willing, we’ll see you next year! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

My son is SOOOOOO excited for camp. He keeps telling me we need to leave NOW and does not understand why camp doesn't start earlier. Thank you Morah Zeesy for making an AMAZING camp that my son remembers from two summers ago..
