★★★★★Daniel SachakovMade some memories that i will never forget. Thank g-d my parents sent me here. I made friends that i still talk to today. Always come back for alumni day because it was my second home for 5 straight summers. Definitely recommended!!
★★★★★Wendy DiamondMy kids have been coming to Crane Lake for the last 7 years. It's such a wonderful place to have fun and to grow!
★★★★★Samantha SiegelIf I could give this more stars, I would!! This camp is my second home!! I am a camper, and this camp sets such high expectations for other camps, and no others have met them! All the counselors are extremely nice, and it is a safe enviornment where there has only been one bully who got kicked out of camp. It’s an extremely great place. Yes, there is a lot of Judaism, but they make it very fun. Anyone who claims the counselors are neglecting them or they don’t have good healthcare is lying. It was most likely there fault they got hurt, and they want someone to blame it on. They have so many activities, and inflatables on the lake!! Competitiveness is allowed, but not meanly. If you were to go to any camp, make it this one!!
★★★★★Jordan FensterWe love crane lake. Have been going for 5 years. Kids love it. It is like a well-oiled machine.
★Sasha LaurenI went to this camp for two years. I left tramatised after an injury caused by counslees neglect at the lake. I also legt 15 lbs undwrweight and internally bleeding. If you care about your childs health do not send them to this camp. I changed camps to Laurel South in Maine and had a wonderful 4 summers with zero injurys and was well fed.
