About Camp Modin
Camp Modin: The Oldest Jewish Summer Camp in New England
Are you looking for a traditional summer camp experience for your kids? Look no further than Camp Modin, the oldest Jewish summer camp in New England. Located in the picturesque Belgrade Lakes region of Maine, Camp Modin has been providing unforgettable summers to children ages 7-16 since 1922.
At Camp Modin, we believe that summer camp is more than just a fun way to spend a few weeks away from home. It's an opportunity for children to grow and learn in ways they never could during the school year. That's why we offer a wide range of activities designed to challenge and inspire our campers.
From sports like basketball, soccer, and tennis to creative pursuits like arts and crafts, drama, and music, there's something for everyone at Camp Modin. We also offer outdoor adventures like hiking, camping trips, and canoeing on beautiful lakes.
But it's not just about the activities at Camp Modin - it's about the community we create here. Our staff is dedicated to making sure every camper feels welcome and included from day one. We encourage our campers to make new friends from all over the world while learning important life skills like teamwork, leadership, and independence.
Of course, as the oldest Jewish summer camp in New England (and one of only a handful of kosher camps in North America), we also take pride in our commitment to Jewish values. Our daily schedule includes prayer services led by our rabbi-in-residence as well as opportunities for Torah study and discussions about what it means to be part of a larger community.
We know that sending your child away for several weeks can be nerve-wracking - that's why we go above and beyond when it comes to safety at Camp Modin. Our facilities are top-notch with modern cabins equipped with electricity (but no phones or TVs!) as well as state-of-the-art athletic fields and courts.
Our staff is carefully selected based on their experience working with children as well as their dedication to creating an inclusive environment where every camper feels valued. We also have medical personnel on-site 24/7 so you can rest assured that your child will be well taken care of if any issues arise.
In short: if you're looking for an unforgettable summer experience for your child that combines fun activities with meaningful personal growth opportunities - all while being part of a vibrant Jewish community - look no further than Camp Modin!
