Camp Blue Star reviews

This camp was not the right place for me. I am an outdoorsy type. The girls here were interested in boys mostly. I was the only one to sign up for an elective hike in my cabin and I looked forward to mountain biking but the girls could not bike- also, the girls are materialistic and curse a lot. not for me

I was a camper here for 6 summers and a counselor. Unbelievable camp with a great drama program. Still friends with my cabin mates..!

Blue Star is home to me. I am a second generation camper who started when I was 7 years old and stayed for the next 8 summers. As soon as I was old enough, I applied to work there. 6 summers later, I still work there. The staff goes through a selective hiring process and then extensive training every summer before the campers arrive. Even though it is a large camp, it feels small as campers are programed with other campers their age and gender and engage in age appropriate activities. Blue Star is where I first identified with my Jewish identity and became proud of who I was. Additionally, it provided me with self confidence that I would have gotten anywhere else. Blue Star is an amazing place that I see first hand change the lives of campers for the better every summer. I cannot recommend this camp enough to prospective families.

Rodger Popkin and the whole family are the rudest people ever. They do not treat the counselors fair at all.You should never work there cause if the campers don't like you your gone. Snotty kids to work with and horrible unit leaders. The camp is run by rude people they do not know how to treat the counselors with respect. I do not reccomend anyone to send there kids to this camp or to work at this camp.. Stay away from this camp awful people.

Blue Star Camps is truly a magical place where campers and staff come together to create a spectacular summer. I was both a camper and a staff member at this excellent camp for jewish kids and I have treasured every second of my time spent at Blue Star. As a younger camper I loved all the friends I made, the activities that I was able to do (rock climbing, mountain biking, archery, kayaking, water skiing, color war, and so much more). Once I was an older camper I began to really appreciate the the friendships that I had made over the years and the magic behind the camp that kept me coming year after year. In my transition to a counselor, I came to realize that the magic at blue star was rooted in the love of everyone there. As a staff member I formed such close bonds with my campers and fellow staffers, as well as helping to create these same bonds between the campers. It was an unforgettable and incredible experience and I realized how lucky I was to be able to be a camper there all t

Takes too many kids. Claims two counselors to a bunk, but this does not happen. Counselors have no training. Get locked out of activities because over enrolled. Director is not professional at all. When my child was there one girl in her bunk needed to be sent home tormented the other girls for four weeks and he said "we just dropped the ball on this one it happens" Did not notify us that one of my childrens counselors went home after the first three days. I would never send my children back.

blue star is the best place on earth. I came here for my first time in 05 and i'm coming back for seniors this year. I'm so excited. everyone will have fun here, even if you're not jewish. parents, you need to send your kids here. they will have the time of their life and never want to leave.

eh. worst summer of my life. tons of rich snotty kids who have this idea that they are better than everyone else. i can't believe my parents made me go.

Blue is the greatest camp in the world. I've been going for 9 years and I have made friends that I will keep forever. If you have the chance go!!!

Highest praises for Blue Star Camps! Blue Star, a Jewish family owned and run camp is NC, has a rich tradition and history turning of childrens dreams into reality. I was a camper, counselor, and now parent at BSC and all experiences were wonderful. The staff at Blue Star is extremely well trained and attentive. They offer a wide range of activities including (but not limited to): tennis, horseback, lakefront, rock climbing, ropes course, mountain biking, sports, arts & crafts, and even martial arts. The children are encouraged to try new things in a positive, loving environment. Shabbat services are a beautiful experience, they also provide kosher meals, and incorporate Judaism through activities, prayers, and music. Blue Star is definitely any girl or boy's idea of paradise, send your children and you won't be disappointed. They constantly work to involve parents through web pictures, phone calls and mail. A great experience for you and your children from this loving summer family.
