Children from all facets of the Jewish community are at home here. Modin offers opportunities for a child to pursue Judaic studies, including Bar or Bat Mitzvah preparation and Hebrew studies. The Jewish experience happens through discussion groups or through beautiful outdoor Shabbat services conducted by the children or through the moving full-camp Havdalah service at Sabbath's end. It is enriched by the voluntary study of Hebrew and developed through wholesome association with adults to whom Jewish values hold profound personal meaning. Some Campers come from observant homes and others from homes where the Jewish commitment takes the form of concern for Israel, or for the well-being of the Jewish community.
Some children have a limited Jewish education and others attend day-schools.
All are welcome and all find an equal place at Camp Modin. While the Camp operates a Kosher kitchen, the time we devote at Modin to Jewish awareness and activity is another way of understanding our roles as members of the Jewish community. Such singular decisions belong rightfully to the family. What the Modin Camper does comes away with from his or her Modin experience is that being Jewish means feeling deep concern for individual freedom, and maintaining respect and consideration for one another. This has been the Modin Way since the early 20th Century, and this philosophy is what will carry Modin through to the 21st.
