Powered by GoogleBeautiful scenic summer grounds, with country vibe wood interior bunkhouses. Very nice staff. Nice Music room!
Was just here for the weekend and already want to go back!! The camp is situated around a gorgeous lake, the staff is so welcoming & friendly, our cabins were perfectly cozy and warm, and the food was unlike any camp food I've ever had. We spent the weekend enjoying the pool, tubing on the lake, and eating delicious meals. What else could you possibly need?!
If you're looking for a great Jewish camp family to join, Camp Zeke is for you! I am a rabbi and Jewish educator who has been working with youth and Jewish camping for the last 20 years. Zeke is the 8th overnight camp I've either attended or staffed. Over the years, I have been a bunk counselor, a drama specialist, an arts & craft specialist, a unit head, a camper care specialist, a Judaics teacher, and now, at Zeke, I am the camp rabbi. I first heard about Zeke before its first summer, and knew I wanted to be a part of the founding family of this unique Jewish fitness and culinary arts camp. I was welcomed into the family with open arms in 2014, and have not looked back! Isaac and Lisa are incredible people, and when they say "Kindness is our highest value" at Zeke, they truly live it. The fitness-focused program is incredible, offering circus, silks, slackline, martial arts, yoga, strength training, dance, running (just to name a few), and the culinary arts goes well beyond your usual camp cookie kitchen. The more traditional camp activities are also fabulous, with energy-filled song sessions, a beautiful private lake with boating, swimming, and water toys, and sports, music, theater, hiking, bonfires, and the general warmth and enthusiasm you would expect from an overnight camp. The dining hall serves healthful and delicious food, and it is easy to be vegetarian, vegan, or allergy-friendly. The bunks are comfortable and homey. The staff comes from all over the world, and each one is united in their commitment to kindness and Zeke's Jewish values of welcoming, caring, and inclusion. I can't speak highly enough of the staff and the campers, and what a family we've become in five years. If you're looking for a Jewish camp with a warm caring community, Camp Zeke is for you!
From a parents perspective this camp is amazing! The communication has been excellent during the entire process. I was able to see photos of camp life every day while my kids were there and that really helped me to be able to see how much fun they were having. This was our first experience with camp and my kids absolutely loved it! They can’t wait to go back again next year.
Very comfortable and serene atmosphere. Staff is great. Food excellent. Visited twice, 2004 & 2016 and still a wonderful place.
