A Summer Your Child Will Never Forget
Mini Moxie is Camp Moxie’s program for our littlest campers, ages 18 months to 5 years, and we lovingly call them our Mini Moxies. It’s a place where little ones splash, sing, create, and play, and where every child is greeted with a smile and cared for like family.
In a safe, nurturing setting, children make their very first camp friends, build confidence one small adventure at a time, and celebrate Jewish values like kindness, respect, and community in a way that welcomes every family. Our goal is simple: we want your child to feel safe, happy, and proud, and to grow socially, physically, and emotionally every day.
Mini Moxie is led by Director Raquel Dayan and Assistant Director Marni Gindi, together with a warm, caring team of Counselors who love working with young children. Every Mini Moxie Counselor and supervisor is a woman, adding an extra-gentle, nurturing touch that helps our littlest campers feel safe, comforted, and right at home. Meet our team.

A Day at Mini Moxie
Young children thrive when they know what to expect, so every Mini Moxie day follows a happy, familiar rhythm.
A Warm Hello
Each morning, our Counselors welcome every child by name and help them settle in, so the day starts with a hug, a smile, and a friend to play with.
Playing, Creating, and Exploring
Our Mini Moxies move through a variety of age-appropriate activities, including arts and crafts, music, dance, sports, and science, so every day brings something new to discover.
Splashing and Swimming
Our splash park, with its slides, fountains, and toddler-only area, is a summer favorite. Our campers also enjoy time in the pool, always with Lifeguards and Swim Instructors on duty. Towel service is included, so there’s a fresh, dry towel waiting after every swim.
Lunch and Snacks
Hungry little explorers enjoy a kosher lunch and snacks every day, prepared fresh on site in our kosher kitchen.
Rest and Nap Time
Little bodies work hard at camp! Our Mini Moxies ages 18 months to 3 years have a nap every camp day, so they can rest, recharge, and be ready for more fun.
Special Event Wednesdays
Wednesdays are Special Event days across all of Camp Moxie, with themes, surprises, and celebrations planned just right for our littlest campers. See Special Events.
A Gentle Start
For many little ones, Mini Moxie is their very first camp experience, and we know the first few days can bring big feelings for children and parents alike. Our Counselors are there to comfort, encourage, and help every child feel at home, and most children are smiling and settled in no time.
We are always happy to talk with you about your child’s needs, routines, and personality before camp begins, so we can make their first summer a happy one. Questions? Our Mini Moxie team would love to hear from you.
