Camp Gan Israel to Host Greenwich Seniors

It will be an inter-generational day on Wednesday at Camp Gan Israel of Greenwich.

The children attending the day camp run by Chabad Lubavitch of Greenwich at Carmel Academy on Lake Avenue are planning to put into practice the community service they’ve been learning this summer.

Campers learn and practice community-building and community service projects along with their bunk counselors. Doing good deeds is part of the curriculum that fosters compassion, charity and kindness.

On Wednesday, Camp Gan campers will be host Greenwich senior citizens for cooking activities, card playing, bingo, singing and light-hearted intergenerational quality time as they have every year since the camp was founded 18 years ago. The campers are learning the importance of respecting their elders, serving others in the wider community, and practicing the art of hospitality.
