★★★★★Leslie PosnockOne of the greatest gifts we've ever given our child, who was a camper for 8 years and a counselor for two. The friends she made there are forever.
★★★★★Marc SloaneAbsolutely love it. This is my camp and I always love coming here every summer. The views are incredible and the experience is amazing.
★★★★MARY CurtisI was not there for myself. This is a Jewish camp, and I was there to take them on a field trip. It seems to be a very nice camp. The kids seem very happy there and well mannered. In fact after I dropped them back off at the camp. The camp councilor literally swept and clean my bus before he left. I thought that was truly an unselfish act.
★★★★★Mimi LebeauMost amazing place on earth. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a Jewish sleep away camp. The memories I’ve made there will last forever and everyone there is so nice
★Carlos YarceWe rented cabin for Lakewood arts and music festival. For the price of 2,000dollars for 3 daysThe cabins we're extremely ran down. The sleeping conditions wer also very poorly the mattresses were foam pads for the most part,and the minority of them had wholes,and stains. The bathrooms we're really dirty. When we got there we had to start cleaning for over an hour. The showers,and all the wood in bathrooms have mold. Will not go back ever! I think tent camping would had been way better,and for sure alot cheaper. Everythingv else was good. Except the camp it's self
