Sharise Gerson
Office Manager/Camp Administrator (Maternity Leave)
Sharise LOVES being a part of the Camp Shalom team as the Office Manager/Camp Administrator. With 15 years of office administration under her belt, she does her best to utilize her skills in the camp environment. Sharise spent a decade as a camper and counsellor at a Jewish overnight camp. Her camp years came to an end when she decided to pick up and move to the Canadian Rockies. Since then, Sharise moved back to the GTA and started her own family. She’s been waiting for the day that her kids could attend overnight camp, and that time is finally here. Her favourite part of camp is watching both her children and yours grow and create the camp memories that she holds so dearly. She is counting down the days until the start of camp.
