FAQ's for MBA

● Why is RSA moving?
○ Although we had a great summer in 2022 at F&M, our new facility will allow us to address several areas of recommended improvements identified in our camper surveys, especially regarding security and dining services. We’ll be able to better control our surroundings in the closed environment of a secure campus, and enhance our dining experience with added oversight of the kitchen and menu. We are grateful to F&M for providing us a temporary home in 2022, and we are really excited about making MBA our new home. 

● Where is MBA?
○ MBA is located on the shores of the Pacific Ocean, just over an hour’s drive from San Jose. The campus is easy to get to by car or by plane given the proximity to the Bay Area’s major international airports. RSA will continue to provide transportation for our campers arriving from more distant locations including chaperones flights from New York and airport shuttles.

● How will the move affect RSA’s camp program?
○ The move to MBA will enhance our camp program! We are so excited to have exclusive use of MBA’s beautiful campus. With plenty of indoor and outdoor program space, RSA can offer more varied programs beyond just our core sports. And of course, sports will still be the center of our program. With pristine soccer fields, a high-level basketball center, access to the school’s weight room, and plenty of nearby running trails, our sports programs will have everything RSA needs and more. We could not have found a better long-term home. 

● What about the food?
○ For this summer, we will be taking over the MBA dining hall and turning it into a fully Kosher facility. We can assure you that we’ll be putting together a varied, healthy, and camper-friendly menu.
