Gan Israel Day Camp
Smashing Success
This June saw the opening
of Camp Gan Israel Day Camp
in Charlotte. It was sponsored
by Lubavitch of North
Carolina. Mariashi Groner,
director of the camp, is happy
to report that the first year
was better than expected.
The campers were treated to
special trips, first was
Carowinds and then Discovery
Place, roller skating and horse
back riding. They also enjoyed
a trip to the River Banks Zoo
in Columbia, SC.
The Jewish spirit was felt at
aU times. Campers studied
blessings over food and learn
ed basic Jewish principles of
what it means to be a Jew.
“What a proud feeling to be
Jewish,” said one young
camper who won a prize for
studying P’sukim of Torah.
Yossi and Gedalyah Shem-
tov came from New York to be
head staff and boy did they
devote themselves to the
campers. The children were
taught how to bake Challah
and excelled in arts and crafts
depicting Jewish life, like the
Kiddush cup and the Shabbat
candles.
Said one mother, “I just
can’t get over the happy faces
of the children, their excite*
ment and joy. It is if we were
back in Israel." Said another.
“Now my child does not stop
singing ‘Moise Mouse’ who
always eats Kosher meat and
does not mix it with cheese.”
Camp began every day with
a line up at the Lubavitch
Residence foUowed by learning
classes. The days were filled
with trips, sports, and arts
and crafts. The children en
joyed healthy nutritious
lunches.
“We are thankful to Walter
and Elizabeth Klein for allow
ing the camp to use their
swimming pool.” said
Mariashi Groner. “It added to
the joy and excitement of
camp.”
