Gan Shalom is a Jewish summer camp for children ages 2–5, designed to nurture curiosity, creativity, and early problem-solving skills in a collaborative and joyful environment rooted in Jewish values. The 2026 Summer program offers eight one-week sessions, giving families the flexibility to build a summer schedule that works best for them. Each week of camp centers on a different Jewish value that guides activities, play, and learning experiences.
