Moshava’s camper population includes 1,200 third through ninth graders from all over the United States who attend either for two months or for a single month session. We also have campers from Canada, Israel and Europe. Moshava attracts over 200 staff members from all over the United States, as well. Our staff attend a variety of different colleges and many have spent a year in Israel studying in an educational institution. We also recruit staff from Israel from a wide variety of backgrounds - Israeli, children of American immigrants, Ethiopians, Russians and have an exchange program with the Religious Kibbutz movement for post army age staff. Moshava has daily classes for its campers taught by a group of dedicated experienced teachers. Classes cover the full spectrum of Jewish philosophy and law through biblical, talmudic and modern source material taught with creative methods in small class groups. Moshava also sees its staff as an important educational target group and there are required and optional classes provided on a daily basis for our staff. Learning Torah is therefore going on all day and late into the night at Camp Moshava. As a camp committed to serious Zionist education, our program is suffused with both direct and experiential activities that teach about and develop a love for Israel that is unique to the camping enterprise. Campers may simulate the crossing of the Jordan river in the time of Joshua, escape from the British as they land in Palestine or debate current issues challenging the State of Israel today.
