The first day of kindergarten may be around the corner for some Bellmore-Merrick preschoolers, but dozens have had an eventful summer at Camp Gan Israel, organized by Chabad of Bellmore-Merrick-Wantagh.
The camp, which Chabad operates at 2083 Seneca Gate in Merrick, offers water play, music, yoga, sports, science, challah baking and instruction on Jewish heritage for children, age 2 to 5. Chanie Kramer, Chabad’s program director said warm and experienced staff members facilitate the activities and major children feel comfortable.
“The camp’s warm and experienced staff…create a loving and nurturing environment where every child is made to feel special,” she said. “Through the special activities, and even during free play, the counselors seek to bring out the unique creativity and imagination in each child.”
