Maccabiah Camp Experience

The Maccabiah Camp Experience aims to bring the most significant Jewish sports event in the world, the MACCABIAH, to as many Jewish communities across North America as possible. To that end, there is no better place to start than Jewish summer camps.

A special delegation of Elite Maccabi athletes from Israel and worldwide will lead exclusive clinics in various sports, sharing their secrets, special techniques, and insider tips. This is a fantastic opportunity for your campers to train like champions, master new skills, receive personalized expert feedback, and build teamwork through exciting sports activities.

Campers will also explore the rich history of the Maccabi World Union and the Maccabiah, celebrating the movement's heritage and connecting with a global Jewish sports community. The day will culminate in a traditional torch ceremony, a cherished Maccabiah ritual. Each camper will receive a commemorative medal, specially designed for the Maccabiah Camp Experience, to celebrate their achievements and their connection to the Maccabiah legacy.
