    Ma-Tov seeks to provide a rich summer experience combining the study of Torah with a full range of sports and arts activities including instructional and general swim, baseball, basketball, soccer, hockey, tennis, mini-golf, arts and crafts, volleyball, leagues, music, Torah learning, nature and boating. Special events such as theme days, carnivals, campfires, overnights, and trips highlight our program.


Chinuch Program
Jewish education and Middot are an integral part of our program. Themes such as Shabbat, Jewish Heroes, Israel, Tefillah, Pirkei Avot, Ecology and honor and respect for others, are topics we study. With creativity and enthusiasm, our Chinuch staff infuse our program with parsha study, and Shabbat play presentations. Rabbi Vogel enthusiastically hands out parsha prizes each week to campers who give a D'var Torah at the Shabbat table.


Sports
In a non-competitive, fun environment, we focus on improvement of sports skills, learning the rules of the game, teamwork and safe play. Leagues and Olympic games highlight our program, while having fun and practicing good sportsmanship are priorities.


Swim
Fully accredited lifeguards and swim instructors teach our campers new skills during instructional swim based on the Red Cross Model. Our new water slide is a major attraction, while our spray grounds keep us cool and refreshed when we're not in the pool.


Nature
A full array of pets and fish reside in our nature house. Campers interact with rabbits, guinea pigs, newts, salamanders, chicks, ducks, and a hundred year old tortoise. They watch the development of tadpoles, catch butterflies and frogs, make sassafras tea, and do scientific experiments. Campers study leaves including poison ivy, poison oak, and sumac. They watch as eggs hatch into living beings and mothers care for their young.


Art and Music
Jewish themes permeate both our arts and music programs. Art projects are often related to Jewish or Israeli themes or holiday objects. Many different mediums are used in art to create beautiful projects. Ceramic projects and glazing is a specialty.


Drama / Presentation
Each week a different group prepares a play for our Shabbos Program on Parsha, holiday, or theme related topics.


Late nights / Overnights
Campers enjoy added swim, sports, dinner and marshmallow roast. Older campers stay overnight and experience a camp-away atmosphere with added hiking and evening activities.
