JCC Maccabi Experience
The JCC Maccabi Games: an Olympic-style sporting event for Jewish teens, ages 13–17
Give your teen athlete an unforgettable experience of a lifetime! The JCC Maccabi Games are an Olympic-style sporting event for Jewish teens around the world.
On the field, athletes participate in one of 12 sports. Off the field, the excitement continues with opening and closing ceremonies, as well as evening social activities such as visits to amusement parks or zoos, parties, and dances, all designed to encourage interaction among the athletes who come from around the U.S. and the world.
Independent of their competition, all athletes participate in “JCC Cares,” which offers unique, hands-on community service projects to serve needs in the host community and/or learn about Jewish and/or Israeli culture.
