We are a warm and inclusive community that values cultural, gender, and socioeconomic diversity. Camp Gesher is a place for all families and individuals; interfaith, LGBTQ, and gender expressions.  Our education inspires our campers to create a welcoming environment where everyone feels seen, heard, and loved.

INTENTIONALLY

We create magic! We play in costumes, sing at the top of our lungs, and find ways to bring energy and creativity to the ordinary. Today we’re in Wonderland... tomorrow we’ve transformed lunch into a rock concert!

WE ARE...

Spirited

ENERGETIC &

We engage in creative and challenging experiential learning through art, drama, role playing, and thought-provoking games. Our camp adventures encourage us to be curious and think critically. Guided discussions allow us to reflect, learn to be open-minded and empathetic.

CRITICAL

We aim to create a vibrant, inclusive environment for all expressions of Jewish life. We root our understandings of justice and change in Jewish values and tradition. We’re committed to a vision of Israel as a progressive and democratic society.

VIBRANTLY

From the youngest camper to the oldest counselor, the community is ours to shape. We all do everything at camp - from cleaning and building, to creating a Shabbat experience with our peers. Empowered by our sense of shared responsibility, we gain the tools & drive to create the ideal community we envision together.
