In Pursuit of an Ideal Regard for the Individual Dedicated Staff Learning to Live Together History of Modin Our Founders The Experiment Continues Our Jewish Heritage Beauty of Maine Learning to live together Central to the camp experience is learning how to live together as a member of a group. Children of all ages mature through community awareness, because only in a group do we learn tolerance, compromise and acceptance, the skills integral to achieving personal growth Within the group, children learn to respect others, to work as a team and to contribute to the whole. Community life affords them unique opportunities to be a part of something truly special. So how does the group experience differ at Modin from those in the outside world? It is mainly due to the level of intensity. In camp, we live together day in, day out. This immersion cultivates in children the ability to know one another, to share our varied strengths, to offer encouragement, lend support, and gain the experience of living—and taking pride in living—in a group. The strength of the Modin community yields unprecedented opportunities for the establishment of lifelong friendships. The Modin community is intensely loyal and devoted. Long after Camp ends for the summer, we remain close and in touch. Year after year, Modin Campers return to renew these special bonds of friendship.
