What is a Seminar?
A Camp Gesher seminar is a fun-filled time in which chanichimot in grade 7 and up are able to have a realistic camp-like experience and see their kvutzah and tzevet for an entire weekend! During this weekend, chanichimot can expect to do what they would normally do at camp from Friday-Sunday, including shabbat dinner, rikkud, and havdallah! We will also be running kvutzah specific and camp-wide peulot and activities for everyone to participate in!
