Who
You and your friends, and lots of other folks ages 21 to 70 from across the map, with Mosaic Outdoor Clubs of
America
What is Mosaic?
Mosaic Outdoor Clubs of America (MOCA) integrates Jewish values with an appreciation of the outdoors. It
brings together members of the Jewish community to celebrate and explore the great outdoors in a social
setting. This is achieved by: 1) Sponsoring activities on a national/international scale; and 2) Encouraging
and facilitating the formation and continuation of local Mosaic clubs for the purpose of sponsoring
local/regional activities.
Mosaic Outdoor Clubs of America is a volunteer-run organization that allows Jewish adults with a love of the
outdoors to get back to nature and have some fun. With 12 clubs located throughout the United States, Canada
and Israel, our international non-profit, volunteer-run organization promotes appreciation of the outdoors,
nature, outdoor skills and conservation, while building Jewish community and continuity.
