ACTIVITIES

Having Fun while observing Yahuah’s Feast Days are an integral part of Sukkot 2020! These activities provide opportunities for a range of interests and abilities.

Volleyball

Volleyball is always a fun way to learn new skills and build teamwork. That’s why we have 4 different volleyball nets at Camp Oak Hill. You can play in the gym, on sand, in grass, or even in the pool.

Gym

Located in their historic gym, many a good basketball game has happened there. Other fun gym games include dodgeball, wall-ball, four-square, knockout, relay races and volleyball!

Field Sports

Ultimate Frisbee, soccer, lacrosse, kickball, Spikeball, football, softball, tennis, and more! 

Arts & Crafts

You never know what will be created during arts & crafts. Decorate Sukkahs or make Sukkot bracelets are often a favorite, and fun to create!

Freedom of Choice (FOCs)

Each participant has the “freedom of choice” to select from a variety of options offered by the campgrounds on their talents and passions. Past options have included: acting/drama, gardening, bench-making, drumming, water step aerobics, a variety of sports and more!

Front Lawnin'

Ahhh, the most relaxing (or most intense) part of Sukkot 2020. No matter how you’re feeling the front lawn is perfect. Whether it is relaxing in a rocking chair enjoying the view and sitting on the dock fishing or leaping into the gaga pit for another round of fun or trying to become king in nine-square-in-the-air!

WATER ACTIVITIES

Pool

The newly-built pool, features “full-court” water basketball, volleyball, and a pair of water slides! A favorite feature is that it’s no more than 4ft deep everywhere, making the pool loads of fun even for smaller participants.
