Maccabi Sports Camp

To experience Maccabi Sports Camp is to enjoy the best of two wonderful worlds…the skill development, sports IQ, and increase in confidence that comes with an intensive sports camp program combined with the personal growth, joy and relationship building known to be part of a Jewish overnight camp experience.

Sessions begin and end with fanfare. Campers are welcomed to our community at Opening Ceremonies, a time to establish our values and remind everyone of the power of being part of a supportive and inclusive community. Similarly, we culminate our session at Closing Ceremonies where we celebrate the achievements of individuals and the community. Awards celebrating our core values are given to the campers who demonstrate strong character and determination, spirit, willingness to try new things and being a “Mensch.” Elements like these are what set our camp apart and demonstrate our emphasis on a positive Jewish values-based experience.

In between, days are filled with core sports instruction complemented by cabin activities, electives, memorable evening programs and free time to be with your friends and create your own memories. Our main focus, of course, is sports. And while each camper devotes significant time to developing skills around their chosen core sport, each day is balanced with fun and traditional camp excitement. Because choice and independence are important to personal growth, each day offers a mix of electives and planned activities.

Facilitated by counselors and coaches, our approach to 2nd Sport is more recreational than instructive, giving campers the opportunity to play old favorites or try new things while still being competitive and having fun with their friends.
