Join our team
Working at Camp Massad is a truly rewarding experience filled with opportunity for growth. When you join our team, you will spend the summer gaining and sharing valuable career skills and leadership opportunities among a group of like-minded peers and mentors. We hire to the highest standards, complementing our counselors who return year after year, and more often than not grew up at Massad, with staff from Israel and Europe to give our campers a wider cultural perspective. When you join our team, you become part of the lifelong Massad mishpacha!
We train staff extensively before, during and after the summer so that together we can uphold Massad's mission, vision and values and our staff standard of excellence. We prepare our staff to be Jewish role models by investing time during pre-camp to launch our summer theme and unpack it together. Each theme is chosen based on its ability to highlight a core Jewish value we want to instill in our campers and staff. Examples of our past themes include Hineni and Am Echad Lev Echad. As we explore each of these themes, we take a closer look at how our Dugma Ishit (leading by example), shape our camp culture and the people around us.
Start dreaming of your own Massad summer! If you have a positive attitude, commitment to safety, a determination to giving your campers the summer of their lives, and enjoy living in a beautiful camp environment, Camp Massad is where you should be calling home all summer!

Rosh HaMachane * Camp Director
Jennifer Turack
I can’t wait for all the ruach, laughter, and unforgettable moments this summer at Camp Massad will bring!
As a longtime camp professional and educator, I’ve spent years leading teams, building programs, and making sure camp is a place where everyone can thrive—while sneaking in a little fun along the way. I believe camp is the ultimate space for growth, friendship, and joyful Jewish living… with just enough s’mores to keep it interesting.
I hold a Master’s in Jewish Education and Jewish Studies from Gratz College and a BA in Political Science from York University, and I’ve been lucky to work with organizations like York University, Makom, Yachad, and Camp Northland.
When I’m not at camp, I’m a proud mom of two amazing young adults and wife to a high school English teacher who tolerates my endless camp stories. I’m thrilled to bring energy, creativity, and ruach to Camp Massad this summer—and to make it an unforgettable experience for everyone! Tamid Muchan(a)!
Rosh Tzevet * Head Counsellor
Michal Jacobs Wunsh
Hi! I’m so excited to be coming back as Rosh Tzevet and Co-Rosh Tif’ul!
Massad is such a special place where we celebrate Judaism, Zionism and education through fun, friendships and unforgettable experiences.
I’m really looking forward to supporting our staff, building strong connections with campers, and helping create a summer full of growth, friendship, laughter, and memories we’ll still be talking about long after camp ends (and maybe a few inside jokes too). I can’t wait to be back at camp, cheering everyone on and making the magic happen.
Rosh Tipul * Camper Care
Gavriella Silverstone
As a proud Massad alumna, camp has been a formative part of my life—from my years as a camper to my time as a counselor—shaping my connection to Jewish life, Hebrew, spirituality, and Zionism.
I hold a Master’s degree in Creative Arts Therapies (Drama Therapy) from Concordia University and have worked with children and families in many settings, including leading a children’s therapeutic clinic focused on behavioral and emotional support. My goal is to help create a camp culture where every child feels safe, understood, and empowered, and where staff feel confident and supported in this important work.
Now living in Israel with my husband and our three sons, returning to Camp Massad in this role feels like a meaningful full-circle moment.
Rosh Tochnit * Program Director
Tal
Shieber
I’ll be coming to Canada to help lead camp programming and create meaningful, fun, and values-based experiences for our campers and staff.
During the year, I teach Hebrew and Jewish philosophy in Israel and serve in a senior leadership role as a grade head and homeroom teacher, where I support students and staff both academically and personally. Earlier in my career, I spent several years working with Jewish communities in Canada as a camp counselor and in other youth-focused educational roles—experiences that helped shape my love for camp and my belief in its power to build strong, connected communities.
I’m honored to be joining the Massad team and can’t wait to work together to create an engaging, thoughtful, and joyful summer for everyone at camp!
Rosh Yehadut * Head of Judaics
Eden
Hajaj
Hi everyone! My name is Eden, and I’m a Hebrew and Jewish Studies teacher at a high school in Israel.
I’m beyond excited to be spending the summer with you as Rosh Yehadut (Head of Jewish Life) — basically, your go-to person for Jewish spirit, meaning, and good vibes.
When I’m not teaching, you’ll probably find me doing something adventurous. I love extreme sports like surfing, horse riding, and dirt biking — so yes, I’m always ready for action (but I promise to follow camp rules!). I come prepared with lots of cool stories for late-night conversations… and maybe a few life lessons too.
I can’t wait to meet everyone, sing loudly, laugh a lot, ask big questions, and spend the summer living in the ultimate Jewish bubble — camp style! See you by the campfire soon!
Rosh Tif'ul & Hadracha * Operations

Camp Massad was a formative experience for me and all of my family going generations back, and it’s always great to return. This summer I’ll be co-running Tif’ul (Operations) at camp as I’ve done the past few summers. In addition, I will be running the program for Malam and Machon as Rosh Hadracha and can’t wait to have a meaningful and fun summer!

Avraham Gilad
The people at Massad are some of the best I’ve ever met—friends for life whom I’m always happy to reconnect with and share new experiences.

Rosh Agam
Shayna Bratin
Camp Massad has been my second home for over a decade and as a third-generation Massadnik, my history at this Machane is deeply rooted in my being.
Massad is a warm and nurturing environment that fosters a sense of independence, growth, creativity and water ski improvement.
This is my second year as Rosh Agam and I feel privileged to watch the campers learn and improve in all the waterfront activities we offer. Along with my team of trained, good-hearted and strong lifeguards, I plan to continue ensuring the safety of our campers, as well as skill improvement and of course, boat loads of fun.
Camp massed is a family that supports and encourages each other to reach our truest potential.

Camp has played a huge role in my life that I am so thankful for. Whether through the memories I have made, the close friendships that I still have to this day, or my passion for Judaism and Israel, I owe it all to Massad.
Rosh Hofa'a * Head of Drama
Raphy Benizri
Hi everyone! My name is Raphy, and I’m so excited to be back at camp for my thirteenth summer, where I’ll be serving as Rosh Hofa’a (Performing Arts).
Camp has been such a meaningful and formative part of my life, and it truly feels like home. Drama has always been my favourite peula at camp, a place where creativity, confidence, and teamwork come together. As Rosh Hofa’a, I’m passionate about creating an inclusive, fun, and supportive environment where every camper feels comfortable expressing themselves, taking creative risks, and shining on stage. I can’t wait for another summer filled with laughter, creativity, and unforgettable memories with our incredible Mispachat Massad.
Rosh Media Chevrateet
