Join us for the full summer experience and immerse yourself in everything Gesher has to offer. From tiyul and kupah trips to airbands, banquet, and Shabbat traditions, full summer campers live the magic of Gesher from beginning to end. Bogrim are especially encouraged to stay the full summer to experience the strongest kvutzah bonds and leadership opportunities.

Our first session offers campers a chance to dive right into camp life during the early summer. Campers will enjoy tiyul, kupah trips, airbands, Shabbat traditions, and the energy of opening weeks when the entire camp is fresh and full of excitement. It is the perfect balance of fun, community, and Gesher’s unique programming.

Intersession offers campers a fun, flexible bridge between main sessions, packed with unique programming and a relaxed pace. With fewer campers on site, everyone has the chance to try new activities, connect more closely with staff, and enjoy a different rhythm of camp life. It’s a time for creativity, exploration, and community bonding in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Second session gives campers the full Gesher experience in a slightly shorter format. By August, the staff are fully in rhythm and the camp community is humming with energy. This session includes all of Gesher’s major highlights, from special days to kupah trips and campwide events, in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Two Weeks Bet is designed for families looking for a shorter experience while still giving campers a chance to join in Gesher’s most loved programs. Campers will enjoy Shabbat celebrations, kupah trips, and the friendships that come with being part of a kvutzah. It is a wonderful entry point into camp for those not yet ready for a full session.

Ofarim is our gentle introduction to overnight camp, designed for our youngest campers. Taking place in August, this program offers the best time to be at Gesher: the bugs are fewer, the lake is warmer, and the nights are cooler. With a smaller and calmer atmosphere, Ofarim gives campers the space to try new activities, build friendships, and begin their Gesher journey with confidence.

Post-MBI/E brings teens together after their Israel trip to reconnect, reflect, and lead within the Gesher community. This two-week program builds on their summer abroad and strengthens their leadership within Habonim Dror. It is the perfect bridge between being a camper and stepping into leadership roles at Gesher.

Madatz is Gesher’s counselor-in-training program, where participants take on new responsibilities and leadership roles. Over the summer they develop skills in peer leadership, programming, and teamwork, and even move in with campers during second session to gain hands-on experience. It is a transformative program that prepares them to become the next generation of Gesher staff.
