★★★★★Rita LevitanskayaBHEC Best Jewish camp and truly an amazing place. The food is absolutely delicious and always fresh, with a great variety that everyone can enjoy. The staff and leadership are the very best — caring, attentive, and always making sure every camper feels safe, included, and happy. The atmosphere is filled with so many wonderful experiences and positive energy. ❤️❤️❤️The lake is especially beautiful, with turtles and water lilies that make it feel peaceful and magical. It’s the kind of place where summer memories are made every day. Most importantly, the camp brings together friends for the summer — and for a lifetime. 🥹The bonds formed here are genuine, meaningful, and unforgettable. Highly recommended . Thank you Overall, it’s a special place filled with joy, warmth, and lifelong connections.
★★★★★Lorena Volokhovajust want to share how incredibly happy I am. Today, my son came home absolutely glowing with joy, full of emotions and excitement. I’m also overwhelmed with gratitude. I want to thank this camp for giving my child such a wonderful summer experience. He told me this was the best summer he’s ever had — full of fun, exciting activities, and unforgettable memories. The organization was outstanding — everything was so well thought out and perfectly arranged. We truly loved absolutely everything! deeply appreciate every single staff member for their hard work and dedication in making this happen. Special thanks to the photographers who allowed us, the parents, to witness all these happy moments through their pictures. And one more thing — my son said the food was delicious and there was plenty of it (which is a big deal because he’s usually very picky about food!). Everything was amazing. Thank you again for everything!
★★★★★TracydineThis is the best camp ever!!!! I love working there, the environment is amazing! The sunset views are breathtaking. My daughter loves it here. BHEC is her first over night camp. She literally grew up here. She's been coming with me since she was 2.5 years old. This is our summer home away from home and will always be.

★★★★★Peter MintzerThis was our son's first time at sleep away camp. He really enjoyed his time there. He told us he loved the food and all the different activities. For the 2 weeks he was at camp there as one scheduled call which we enjoyed. The drop off and pick up were seamless.
