It has been in continuous operation since the summer of 1927,[1] making it the oldest Jewish boys' camp in New England.

[2][3] Camp Avoda was established in early 1927 by the Young Men's Hebrew Association[4] to serve the needs of underprivileged Jewish boys.

Today, campers sleep in basic cabins which were built at various times between the late 1950s and early 1980s.

Camp Avoda is located on a 60-acre (240,000 m2) tract of land on Tispaquin Pond in Middleborough, Massachusetts.

More than half of that land is wooded area, which is used for hiking, camping, mountain-biking, and a high-elements ropes course which was constructed in 1999.

However, some campers travel from Florida, the Washington, D.C. area, New Jersey, California, and Israel, to spend their summers at Camp Avoda.

After the campers finish, staff members and administrators, and finally the director, make speeches.Trips occur every Thursday, except during Color War.

Destinations have included Six Flags New England, Red Sox games, and Water Country.

The Alumni Association also hosts fundraising and charitable endeavors aimed at providing scholarships to campers for the summers.
