Camp Gesher (Hebrew: מַחֲנֶה גֶּשֶׁר) is a Jewish summer camp near Cloyne, Ontario. It is a member of the Habonim Dror Zionist youth movement and the Ontario Camping Association.[1][2]
Camp Gesher originated in 1963 as a member of the Dror Hachalutz Hatzair Zionist Youth Organization, a merger of Camp Revivim (serving campers from Ottawa and Toronto) and Camp Kissufim (serving campers from Montreal).[3] Gesher was the first camp to test the merging of the Habonim and Dror Youth Movements in 1975. It is currently under the leadership of Shoshana Lipschultz[3]
The Program, a novel by Hal Niedzviecki, takes place in part at Camp Gesher.[4]
