Here's How A Typical Day Looks...






Wake UP (Kima): The day starts with a wake-up song mix played over our camp-wide sounds system.
Morning Flag-Raising (Mifkad Boker): We gather at the flagpole to raise the Canadian and Israeli flags, listen to the day’s announcements, and sing cheers with your kvutzah (age group)!
Breakfast (Aruchat Boker): Options include, applesauce, fruit salad, oatmeal, hard-boiled eggs, cereal, yogurt, olives, cottage cheese and freshly cut cucumbers and tomatoes.
Work (Avodah): Campers choose a work elective at the beginning of each session. Some of these options include serving breakfast, cleaning our various buildings, painting and building projects, or planting in our vegetable garden.
​
Age Group Activities (Peula Alef/PISH): Gesher's youth leadership prides itself on informal and experiential learning, bringing in the spirit of summer camp through fun, immersive activities.
​
Age Group Activities (Peula Bet): Campers will be taught new skills or perhaps discover a new passion led by our staff and outside professionals.
​
Singing (Shira): Camp songs in Hebrew and English.
​
Lunch (Aruchat Tzorayim)
​
Rest Time (Chofesh): Campers have time to relax in their cabins, to read or write letters home, practice their musical instruments, draw in the Arts & Crafts center, play cards, or talk with friends. A small break in our busy days.
​
General Swim (Schiya Klalit): Swimming in the beautiful Lake Pringle is a great way to cool down on a hot summer day!
​
Hobbies (Chuggim): Campers choose which activity they would like to "specialize" in during the session. Examples include sports, arts & crafts, yoga, messy fun, and board games.
​
Snack (Kibbud)
​​
Evening Flag Lowering (Mifkad Erev): Campers may participate in a skit, or be treated to one by our amazing staff. There may be a newscast from our Shinshinim, a shmerel, or a birthday celebration complete with a plunge "IN THE LAKE"!
​
Dinner (Aruchat Erev)
​
Evening Activity (Tochnit Erev): Gesher's evening activities are usually camp-wide, and related to the summer's theme.
