Camp Gan Israel Lake Norman Completes Its Fourth Summer

August 2024

As the week of Camp Gan Israel (CGI) in Lake Norman comes to an end, I reflect back on our fourth incredible summer of having camp in Lake Norman.

CGI Lake Norman 2024 was filled with drama, music, and Jewish Pride. Walking through camp you could hear the songs of “I am Proud to Be a Jew,” camp cheers and the sounds of new friendships being made. Our incredible counselors made sure each child had the best week possible.

Between the daily trips and creative activities, there was never a dull moment. Of course, we always finish off camp with a Shabbat party and challah baking.
