WHERE LIFELONG FRIENDSHIPS SPARK
LIFE-CHANGING MEMORIES
100 Years of Spirit & Tradition
THERE ARE MANY JEWISH BOYS SUMMER CAMPS, BUT
THERE’S ONLY ONE CAMP AVODA
Located on beautiful Lake Tispaquin in Middleboro, MA, one hour south of Boston, Avoda boasts the ideal summer camp setting. Our cabins encircle our flat, well-manicured athletic field. A picture-perfect lake beckons behind the tall pine trees.
The intimate layout means kids can traverse camp in minutes, allowing your son to get the lay of the land immediately. With only 150 campers, Avoda feels different from other camps. The oldest campers mentor the youngest campers, and everyone knows each other by name.
ALL BOYS
Come As You are,
Grow into your
best
Self
Our all-boys environment creates a more authentic experience. No pretense or social pressures that can dominate life at a co-ed camp. Kids are more comfortable in their own skin. When you can really ‘be yourself,’ it leads to a more fun and relaxed environment and tighter friendships.
Every camper comes to Avoda at a different stage in his personal, emotional, and physical development. Your son will try new things, master new skills, and grow as a person — gaining confidence and building character.
There is truly something for everyone. With dozens of fun activities to choose from, campers develop a schedule that is right for them. Your son will find something to love and can enjoy success in whatever area he chooses.
AUTHENTIC CONNECTIONS
SHARED IDENTITY
Judaism serves as a backdrop to our everyday life. Shabbat services allow us to take a breath, connect, and reflect on a busy week. Songs and prayers are shared in a fun and memorable way. As a result, each camper leaves with an appreciation for their heritage and a greater sense of belonging to a Jewish community.
TIME UNPLUGGED
At Avoda, social media gives way to social interactions and meaningful connections. Texting, Snapchat, and TikTok are replaced by real-life activities that you can’t find anywhere else. Our environment encourages more traditional fun and making relationships in real life.
TRUE FRIENDSHIPS
Why they keep coming back
Our amazing counselors are handpicked based on their experience, maturity, skills, and values. About 95% of our counselors are former campers who grew up at Avoda and are living proof of the effectiveness of our camp culture and CIT program.
At Avoda, your son will develop friendships that last a lifetime. Avoda boys grow up together, achieving success, tackling adversity, creating memories, and establishing lifelong bonds. Avoda friends become college roommates and wedding party attendants; they help each other get jobs, and even have their kids attend Avoda together… starting the Avoda lifecycle all over again.
