Why Camp at Camp Avoda

Watch Avoda Video

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
