HOST FAMILY INTEREST FORM

For the first time in 40 years, the JCC Maccabi Games® & Access are coming home to Toronto. From August 2-7, 2026, we need Jewish families like yours to make this an unforgettable experience. 

The Host Family experience is integral to the JCC Maccabi Games® experience for each visiting athlete. It is an opportunity for local Jewish families to open their homes and hearts by welcoming at least two visiting athletes with next-level comfort, care, and support while in Toronto.

Host famlies are required to host a minimum of two (2) visiting athletes.

Each visiting athlete must have their own bed, sofa bed, cot, or air mattress to sleep on. Athletes may share a room but must each have their own sleeping space.

Athletes cannot switch homes, or stay in hotels with parents, delegation heads, or coaches.

Sometimes, depending on travel arrangements, visting athletes may arrive a few days earlier or depart a few days later than the Toronto 2026 JCC Maccabi Games scheduled dates.

Host families must be Jewish, including one Jewish adult older than 21 years of age as of August 2, 2026.

Host families are asked to provide visiting athletes with the following:

• dinner on day of arrival

• daily breakfast

• evening snacks

• dinner on Host Family Night

All other meals and snacks will be provided by JCC throughout the day. All food provided by JCC is kosher and nut-aware.

Host families are responsible for picking up and dropping off visiting athletes at the Schwartz-Reisman Centre on arrival and departure days.

Host families are also responsible for morning drop-off and evening pick-up, Monday through Thursday. The JCC will provide daytime transportation between events and venues.
