Summer 2026: synagogue membership will now qualify families for Camp Achva’s member rates!
We know that when our community supports each other, everyone is stronger.
That's why we're excited to announce a new policy starting in Summer 2026: synagogue membership will now qualify families for Camp Achva’s member rates!
This change reflects our shared belief that families should feel supported across all their Jewish spaces. We invite you to help us expand their circle of connection. Soon, we'll share simple marketing messages for you to easily pass along this exciting news to your members. As part of our outreach, we would also like to schedule a time in the next few months to come visit your synagogue to talk to families about this great opportunity to send their children to a Jewish day camp, right here in town!
Thank you for everything you do to foster Jewish joy and belonging! We look forward to working with you to engage families throughout Northern Virginia.
