Camp Gesher, Summer camp in Addington Highlands, Canada.
Camp Gesher is a summer facility in Addington Highlands featuring sleeping cabins, dining areas, and spaces designed for outdoor activities and recreation. The grounds contain multiple structures and open areas arranged to accommodate children and teenagers from primary through secondary school years.
The camp was established to provide programming and facilities specifically for Russian-speaking Jewish families in North America, filling a community need. This initiative became a founding space where the group could sustain its language and values across generations.
The camp brings together members of the Russian-Jewish community who share meals, celebrate holidays together, and speak their heritage language in a supportive setting. Visitors notice how traditions are woven naturally into daily routines rather than taught formally.
Families can enroll children in summer sessions, with programs available for students from elementary through secondary school grades. It helps to plan ahead as spots fill quickly during the popular summer months.
The camp operates on a model where young people have real input into decisions and actively develop community projects alongside their peers. This approach lets participants test their leadership abilities and take ownership of their summer experience.
