★★★★★Doug LarterGreat people nice camp offering tennis courts swimming and more.
★★★★★Morris HousenI spent 9 great years at YJ. The waterfront, Friday nights in the dining hall, services in the grove, 3rd entrance, Ulam Levine, Israel trip … just a few of the amazing experiences I had st YJ!
★★★★★E SniderNestled in the woods of SW New Hampshire, this summer camp is a serious find. With an impressive physical plant and some seriously excellent amenities, CYJ is fab.
★★★★★Jonathan BradleyI was a camp counsellor back in 2004, i was the assistant Art teacher and soccer coach. I was looking after the 7/8 year olds at the time and the son of the owner was one I looked after. I think about this place every year of my life with very fond memories as being from the UK they looked after me extremely well. What a wonderful place and an amazing experience. I’d love to hear from the guys I spent time with there. But I guess there all grown up and have children of their own like me. I couldn’t speak highly enough about this place. Love to everyone there.
