ABOUT CAMP AKIBA
The Robinson and Gordon families are proud to announce the reopening of Camp Akiba, marking 100 summers since our doors first opened to families in 1926. Rooted in values centered around health, character, and sportsmanship, Camp Akiba has long been a nurturing ground for the growth of well-rounded youth. Our cherished traditions form the foundation of our program, while fresh innovations drive us forward into the future. This exciting combination of the old and the new will collectively create the magic of Akiba. We welcome you to join us as we continue on this amazing journey!
OUR MISSION
We are committed to preserving the cherished camp traditions that have stood the test of time. We combine elements of a traditional summer camp with an individualized program that is as unique as the campers themselves. Camp Akiba is a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where campers of all backgrounds come together to learn, communicate, and foster friendships that last a lifetime.
OUR VISION
We have a long history of providing a summer experience where campers and counselors alike can feel accepted, supported, and motivated to experience new things while having the time of their lives. Camp Akiba is a timeless "summer home" that celebrates its past while looking forward to the endless possibilities. We are deeply rooted in tradition, designed for the children of today, and committed to evolving for the campers of tomorrow.
OUR VALUES
Our “Akiba-liefs” represent our core beliefs that will teach campers the importance of having good values, a strong moral compass, and the desire to have a positive impact on their community and the people around them.
A
AUTHENTICITY
We encourage every camper to be authentically themselves at camp. There is no better place to let your soul shine than Camp Akiba.
K
KINDNESS
Kindness means being friendly, generous, and considerate. We strive for each and every camper to be both the giver and the recipient of kindness on a daily basis.
I
INCLUSIVITY
At Camp Akiba, everyone is included, and all forms of diversity are valued and welcomed in our community. Our campers will learn to celebrate our differences and promote individuality.
B
BALANCE
Life is all about balance. We encourage all campers to dive into what they love while taking the time to learn new things.
This combination of the tried and true with the new and exciting will help shape them into well-rounded, balanced individuals.
A
APPRECIATION
Appreciation is a form of connection, a foundation of understanding, and a facet for growth. Being appreciative enables us to be more aware of the world in which we occupy, and goes beyond just saying ‘thank you’.
