Camp Moshava Mission Statement
Camp Moshava aims to educate all members of its camping community to make Aliyah and to establish a model society in Eretz Yisrael, which will serve as an Or La Goyim, At the heart of this endeavor is Bnei Akiva’s ideology of Torah Va’Avodah and Religious Zionism. Permeating all aspects of camp life, Torah Va’Avodah emphasizes the importance of interpersonal relations, social justice and contributing to the community within the framework of Torah and Halacha. Camp Moshava will support and inspire the social, emotional, intellectual and religious growth of its members within a fun camping environment.
Camp Moshava is committed to developing an inclusive environment that is open and provides dignity to all regardless of ability, cultural background, ethnicity, gender, race or sexual orientation. We are passionate about our cause to strengthen communities and we achieve this through a welcome environment and training for our campers and staff.
Camp Moshava is a religious Zionist camp sponsored by Bnei Akiva of the US and Canada for the purpose of furthering the educational and ideological goals of Bnei Akiva.

Moshava will be continuing its very successful Kaytana program which will NOW BE A FULL 2 WEEKS and is for campers who will be completing Grades 3 or 4. Our Kaytana program is specially designed as an introductory overnight camp program for children of these ages. Children will become comfortable in the camp environment while learning to deal with the separation issues and the issues of living in a group situation. They will, therefore, be more prepared for the full Moshava experience in the future.
The main camp consists of five Eidot (divisions). 
Our Mini-Mosh program is specially designed as an introductory 4 day, 3-night program for campers who will be completing 2nd or 3rd grades in June 2024. Children will become comfortable in the camp environment while learning to deal with the separation issues and the issues of living in a group situation. They will then be more prepared for the full Moshava experience in the future. The Moshava Mini-Mosh will still feature all of the unique activities, programs and the special Religious, Zionist atmosphere that makes Moshava unique.
