Our Staff

The majority of the staff are graduates of Gesher and love coming to camp as much as the campers. All counselors are, a minimum of 18 years of age and grade 12 graduates. Staff members undergo training for 10 days prior to the first session of each summer which includes:

• First-aid and CPR training
• Abuse and child protection training by professionals
• Leadership training

We strive to set an example for the campers by living according to the values we teach. Like the campers, the staff work co-operatively and contributes a portion of their summer’s salary towards group events and recreation. The majority of our counselors have embedded the values we teach from their years as campers. They are reflected in the lifestyles of counselors year-round, especially in the social hubs that form in Toronto, Montreal, London, Hamilton and elsewhere. The staff works to ensure that all campers and counselors feel safe, comfortable, and happy within the camp environment.
