CAMP GEDI

A radical new approach to family camp

Camp Gedi is a summer day camp that aims to create a supportive space for young people and their caregivers to explore their emotions, develop essential life skills while building a compassionate community. We have carefully crafted an unparalleled experience for children and families, rooted in the values of Radical Empathy, Intergenerational Community, Compassionate Inquiry, Experiential Learning, and Collaborative Partnership. Nurturing a profound sense of self and community is the cornerstone of personal and societal growth. Our learning philosophy is centered around cultivating curiosity and fostering collective responsibility, ensuring that your child's journey here is not just transformative but also empowering. We aim to instill in them a lifelong commitment to learning and a strong sense of social justice, equipping them to make a positive impact on the world around them. Launching in summer 2024, we are looking for two teachers and two assistant teachers to facilitate the camp experiences.

Curious about who started Camp Gedi?

Camp Gedi was founded by the Gedi Foundation, an organization that aims to establish Toronto as a hub for world-class education. Our primary goal is to champion and support innovative and entrepreneurial ideas related to SEL and academic learning from students, caregivers, educators and the wider community. Using an Intentional Philanthropy Model, the foundation’s first project will be to found a communal learning facility called Gedi Village. Picture a cutting-edge facility located in the west end of Toronto, equipped with a K-8 elementary school, a professional development centre for educators and caregivers, and a philanthropic foundation disseminating the research beyond the confines of the building.
