★★Delwin ThomasI was very interested in going to Jeff Lake Day Camp, so I gave them a call. To my extreme disappointment, I was hung up on within only a couple seconds of my call. That really upset me. I was really anticipating having fun over the summer with all the other Jeff Lake Daycampers but that all got cut short by that incident. Still, I know Jeff Lake and he is a great guy, so he deserves at least a 2-star review.
★Camila ChicmanaThe staff was horrible. They said a cuss word to my class. It was like a teenage boy because I went there for a field trip and because a boy was funny, and this staff was really mean for the whole time and these girls are like really mean they were like screaming and everything but at least the fun was fun, but I did not like the staff
★★★★★David HellerMy kids love this place. They swim everyday (they learned how to swim here), play sports, arts and crafts, and forge new relationships each summer.
★★★★★Rachel HoffmanI just wanted to shout out Sue Rynar at Jeff Lake Camp. My son was there for a party over the weekend and he left his new shoes. Sue was super helpful in finding them and getting them shipped back to me. Thank you Sue!!! While we don't live in New Jersey, I got to visit the camp when I went to pick my son up from the event he was at, and boy is it a wonderful looking camp! The facilities look awesome, the staff was super helpful and engaging with the guests and the boys had an amazing time. Clearly Jeff Lake Camp is a fabulous place to be!!
★★★★★Sheila RashalWe had a lovely day at Jeff Lake camp celebrating the Bar Mitzvah of a family member. The camp provided a wonderful setting for the children to have a child oriented day of fun activities and the adults to have a chance to relax and enjoy being with each other. Each activity area was supervised by a camp counselor. The activities included swimming in a pool, mini golf, basketball. There are also playgrounds for younger children. The bathroom facilities were spotless. It was a perfect day.
