​

Camp Gesher is an overnight summer camp located in Cloyne, Ontario. Working at Camp Gesher is a rewarding experience. Our staff team is a mature, caring group of young adults who are dedicated and committed to providing a positive camp experience for all campers. We believe that staff return for many years because they are treated with respect and given the opportunity to take ownership of their summers by planning programs, making decisions, giving input, and helping to implement positive growth in campers and the camp itself. The Camp Gesher staff team is largely composed of past campers who feel a genuine passion for Camp Gesher and wish to pay back the experience they had as campers to the future generation. Each year, over 85% of the bunk counsellors we hire are former Gesher campers themselves. They fully understand the influence their own counsellors had on them and now, as cabin and camp leaders, they are proud to carry on that tradition with the campers to whom they’ve been entrusted. Similarly, we are excited by the 15% of new to Camp Gesher staff members who bring unique ideas and a fresh perspective to camp that is constantly growing and improving. If you enjoy working with people and want to gain experience that will be beneficial to your career, Gesher is the ideal place to work.

​

The campers’ happiness and well-being are our primary considerations at Gesher. With that in mind, we like to employ a highly trained and qualified staff to ensure a safe, nurturing environment where each child can participate and achieve at their own pace. Under the supervision and care of our highly qualified staff, our campers not only develop athletic and artistic skills, but are also encouraged to take on tasks which will enable them to become more responsible and self-confident.
