Nestled in the heart of Middleboro, Massachusetts, Camp Avoda is more than just a camp- it's a vibrant, close-knit community that has been shaping the lives of Jewish boys aged 8-16 for almost 100 years.. Established in 1927, generations of campers have called Camp Avoda their second home. Our campers form connections that go beyond the summer – they become part of a bonded, supportive Avoda family.

At Avoda our smaller size means more than just face-to-face interactions- it means having the opportunity to forge genuine connections that last a lifetime. Forming relationships with each individual camper allows us to tailor our programming in a way that recognizes and celebrates every child’s strengths and interests. At Avoda, your son won't just be another camper- he'll be a cherished member of our camp family

THE AVODA EXPERIENCE

Camp Avoda is more than just fun and games- it's a place where boys discover their strengths and develop essential life skills.

From heart-pounding sports activities to inspiring arts, refreshing waterfront adventures, exciting field trips, and special events that create lasting memories, we've crafted a program that ensures every camper finds something they love. No need to worry about being the fastest or strongest, if your son loves to play, we want him on the team!

This summer is not just a break,

It’s a Breakthrough!

Established in 1927, our camp has stood the test of time. Generations of campers have called Camp Avoda their second home, creating a vast network of alumni who share a deep connection to the values and memories cultivated in our enriching environment. Our campers form connections that go beyond the summer – they become part of a bonded, supportive Avoda family.

The longer you stay at this place, the more you learn about yourself, what you value, and who your true friends are.
-Ethan G.
Camp Avoda provides my sons with a safe place where they can try new things and be themselves. The opportunity to develop a Jewish community at camp is a game changer for families who live in areas with small Jewish communities.
- Jen M. (Avoda Parent)
Sam had another AWESOME summer at Avoda and would not trade the experience for anything. You and your staff truly run a wonderful program in a very special place.
– Mike, Boston, MA
And by the way, it isn’t just CAMP – it is Avoda! I have seen the difference in what my daughter experienced (and she was happy) and what Alex did. There are too many differences to even go into in detail but the family feeling, the bonding, the surprises, the spirit, the fun, the energy, the support, the Big Brother Program (brilliant!), the music, and on and on and on – What you have created is really very special. – Lisa, Weston, FL.

“On visiting day, I started throwing a frisbee around with my son, and others joined in without hesitation or question and everyone interacted with each other so naturally--there is something very special and unique about the size and culture of Avoda that seems to break down the normal barriers of age.”
Avoda Parent
Joe and I loved everything about Max’s experience – how much fun he had, how engaged he was in all of the activities and how much it already means to him – he clearly found his home at Avoda. All of the communication from you and the rest of the administration has been great and throughout the summer we loved looking at the photos!
