Organizers are hoping to significantly increase last year's inaugural summer of 180 kids at Camp Gan Israel in Running Springs.
The camp, a 70-acre site near Big Bear that Chabad purchased for $4.3 million two years ago, recently broke ground on a 10,000-square-foot multipurpose building and has invested another $1.5 million in other improvements, including a newly remodeled synagogue, enlarged dining hall, kitchen improvements, a game room and upgraded air conditioning, bathrooms and carpets.
The camp is also initiating an optional bar and bat mitzvah program aimed at campers who come from secular schools. And last year's pilot program for special-needs kids, in conjunction with the Friendship Circle of Los Angeles, is being expanded to a two-week session.
