Enrollment for Winter Camp 2024 is now open! Enroll by Nov. 30 to secure the Early Bird Rate.

Day Camp Program

We are a traditional day camp completely outside and unplugged from technology. Our program is designed to embrace each campers’ creativity and differences to create an inclusive environment made for exploration and discovery.

Located on our 2,700-acre campus in Simi Valley, our campers get back to the basics of facilitated outdoor play. Our environment allows campers to reconnect with nature, get the activity their bodies need, and see their inner creativity spring to life untethered to devices or at-home comforts.

Activities

In everything we do, we emphasize having fun, building self-confidence, and developing friendships through teamwork … that’s what camp is all about! Our small group sizes give each camper the opportunity to genuinely connect with and keep friends. Many relationships that start at camp last a lifetime! At each age level, the activities our campers engage in are geared towards their developmental interests and abilities.

By sending your child to Gan Alonim Day Camp, you are offering a summer full of experiences that provide memories that last a lifetime. The warm summer days at Gan are spent learning Israeli dances, going swimming, singing songs, creating art, riding horses, discovering nature and sometimes sitting on the grass eating popsicles with friends and counselors.
