Luggage

Intersession is the time between sessions Aleph and Bet and only applies to campers staying for both sessions.

If your camper is in Gesher, we will provide an Intersession program and an opportunity for you to see your camper at a select time. (We will contact you via email and ask you to submit your Intersession plan before Camp begins.)

Full-summer campers must either go to their own homes or travel home with a friend for the duration of Intersession. They may leave their luggage at Camp. For help with Intersession arrangements, please contact our Camper Care Team.
