Our Staff

The secret to our success lies in our outstanding staff. CGI counselors are known for their warmth and ability to care, understand and relate to every child individually. As positive role models for your child, they will cultivate friendships that last forever. Their devotion to your child’s well being is reciprocated by the children’s love for them. All staff come with prior camp experience and a desire to work with kids.

​Bunk sizes are kept small, are well staffed, and each elective is run by professional instructors. 

Our Camp Director Chaya Groner-Greenberg has many years of day camp and overnight experience. She has worked with Gan Israel day camps in Alaska, Germany, Raleigh, Solon OH, Orlando FL, Greenwich CT, and Santa Clarita Valley, CA. She was a teacher and administrator for the Jewish Preschool on Sardis and the Charlotte Jewish Day School for over 5 years. She is the leader of our staff and takes great pride in our on-going, comprehensive staff training program. Her extensive experience with pre-schoolers through teenagers makes her a valuable administrator to our camp throughout the summer.

We take great pride in our commitment to recruiting, training and keeping the highest quality staff in the camping profession. Camp Gan Israel of Lake Norman is dedicated to small groups with exceptional staff supervision. This ensures the best possible care, instruction and supervision for our campers. Our counselors are highly trained, dedicated, and experienced.
