Pioneers Camp Announces Head Staff for Summer 5786

Machane Pioneers is proud to announce our exceptional head staff for Summer 5786 / 2026.

Mendel Cohen, Yaakov Mahony, Yaakov Fischer, Moshe Rudnik, and Nosson Kryger will be leading the way, bringing a powerful blend of experience, heart, and vision to this summer’s program.

Pioneers is a Jewish wilderness camp for boys ages 9–16, designed to develop strong, confident young men through real adventure and meaningful growth. Rooted in chasidishkeit and infused with warmth and purpose, the camp places a strong emphasis on leadership, teamwork, responsibility, and, of course, serious fun.

Campers are immersed in hands-on activities that challenge them both physically and mentally. From bushcraft, fire-making, shelter building, fishing, and paintball, to sports, scuba diving, and unforgettable trips, every day is packed with excitement and opportunity. Through these experiences, campers gain practical survival skills, build resilience, and learn to take responsibility for themselves and others.

Beyond the adventure, Pioneers is about connection and atmosphere. Evenings are spent farbrenging around the campfire, sharing stories, laughter, and inspiration. Shabbos in the breathtaking Green Mountains creates a uniquely uplifting experience, one that stays with campers long after the summer ends.

Each boy leaves Machane Pioneers with confidence, independence, lifelong friendships, and memories that truly last a lifetime.
