Your Experience of a Lifetime!
August 3-10, 2012 - Houston, Texas
The JCC Maccabi Experience provides two amazing programs for Jewish Teens, whether they are interested in athletics or the arts. With over 3500 Jewish teens expected to participate this year, the JCC Maccabi Games and ArtsFest is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to compete, collaborate and grow with other Jewish teens.
We are looking forward to taking over 100 Jewish teens, coaches and chaperones to Houston in Summer 2012. We are also excited to be hosting the Games and ArtsFest in the OC in August, 2013.

The JCC Maccabi games are an Olympic-style event and the largest Jewish teen event in the world. In addition to sports, athletes experience home hospitality and Jewish programming such as Hang Time and Days of Caring & Sharing. Celebrating 30 years and over 130,000 athletes through its doors, the JCC Maccabi Games are responsible for changing the lives of many Jewish teens; and now as the younger generation of athletes become coaches, we know that the JCC Maccabi Games legacy will continue on for years to come.
