Camp Gan Israel, Brazil: 23 Years and Strong

S. PAULO, BRAZIL

In what is now a 23-year old tradition, Jewish children from all over Brazil, closed a fun-filled, lively and spiritually enriching summer at Camp Gan Israel in the resort town of Nazra Paulista.

The camp, under the direction of Rabbi Dovid Whiteman, director of Chabad of Morumbi, has earned a reputation for its outstanding program that delivers the best of outdoor sports and recreational activities in an enivronment that fosters Jewish pride and Torah values.

Brazil’s Camp Gan Israel is one in Chabad’s network of Gan Israel camps–the largest Jewish camping network in the world.
