Camp Gesher has been empowering youth for 60 years. Our program reflects the values and spirit of youth leadership and empowerment; focusing on social and environmental justice, inclusion, equality, and building an informed and empathetic community. At Gesher each camper is encouraged to take responsibility for the well being of the community and the world around them.
Camp Gesher is a place where ALL people are welcomed, valued and respected. We are inclusive of all families including interfaith families, all gender identities, sexual orientations, political opinions, and Jewish expressions. We provide an opportunity for our campers and staff to live by our values, and practice them each day.
Our youth led community develops both tangible and intangible skills, for both our campers and our staff. We foster self confidence through trying new activities, gain resiliency by enduring setbacks in a supportive environment, develop life-long friendships, grow independence, build social skills and understanding of group dynamics, learn leadership skills, unplugging from technology and connecting with nature.
