Camp Avoda, Jewish summer camp in Middleborough, Massachusetts, US.
Camp Avoda is a summer facility on about 60 acres beside Lake Tispaquin, with wooden cabins, sports facilities, and outdoor areas for seasonal programs. The setting provides space for different age groups and organizes a full schedule of activities throughout the operating season.
The camp was founded in 1927 by the Young Men's Hebrew Association and began with simple structures on the grounds. Over the following decades, particularly between 1950 and 1980, it grew and developed the modern wooden cabins that define it today.
The camp preserves Jewish traditions through kosher meals and Friday evening services held at the lakeside chapel. These practices shape the rhythm of daily camp life and connect campers with their heritage.
The facility sits on a lake offering water and outdoor activities, so visitors should bring swimming attire and weather-appropriate clothing. The site is most accessible during the typical summer months when programs operate.
The oldest campers reside in a special bunk and receive alumni status upon departure from the program. This group marks an important transition point in the lives of those who have spent summers at the lake.
