★★★★★Stephen PetersThe friends I made as a child at Camp Avoda are the same friends that I have and can count on today. To call these people my friends is an understatement, they are my family. I am proud to say that my 2 boys currently attend Avoda and are building the same types of relationships and learning the same lessons I did. Avoda is an amazing place that I am proud to call my second home.
★★★★★Mike WeissI came to Avoda in bunk 14 (the last year as a camper) which could have been a difficult situation given that everyone knew each other. It was a great experience. I was welcomed by the campers and staff and had a truly memorable summer for all the right reasons. The sports aspect was awesome standard games and amazing Avoda specific events. The campground itself is well kept and rustic yet full of various amenities and of course there is color war and lake tispaquin. I still maintain friendships 30yrs later.
★★★★★andy stoneI started at Camp Avoda in 1974, and spent the 13 best summers of my life there. The friends I made at Avoda were the guys in my wedding party, and are my life long friends to this very day. Avoda taught me leadership, respect, and the most important values I have today. I don't know what I would be like if not for my years at Avoda and the friends I made there.
★★★★★Michael PemsteinCamp Avoda literally changed my life. I spent every summer at Avoda from age 8 until age 22, starting as one of the youngest campers and leaving as one of the oldest counselors. Now I am old enough to have two kids of my own and my closest friends are still my Avoda bunkmates. Every summer I spent at camp was a blast, and many of my fondest memories are from those summers. But the lifelong friendships I built while at camp and the Avoda community that I will forever be a part of are what I will cherish the most from my time at Avoda.
★★★★★Andrew SpearI have a lifelong relationship with Avoda. My experiences as a camper taught me so much, including: leadership, how to compete on the athletic field, and how to have fun with just about everything. As a councillor I learned how to take ownership of jobs and responsibilities. Best of all...I made a large number of life-long friends with whom I still see every week!
