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.

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). 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
