Camp was a disaster for my son. We are not religious and we were told this was a camp for kids like my son to have a positive Jewish experience. He was made fun of constantly for not being religious. He was called stupid, idiot and dummy for not understanding the Hebrew and Jewish things they were doing. Majority of kids are religious so if your child isn’t religious they will be in the minority and get made fun of. The counselors and staff are useless and don’t help the children when they need help. Kids were cursing and beating each other up. I can’t even tell you the curse words my son learned this summer.. there is zero communication from the staff. So when you try to call and get in touch to figure out what is going on you get no response back. There is no safety protocol either. Kids are left unattended for hours. I am most upset that they advertise as a camp for non religious kids when the majority is religious and if you are not religious you are made fun of.

e zone camp is a disaster. Boys side they were running wild killing rabbits and the director did nothing. Girls side also has a new camp director and she's beyond nasty. I won't send my daughters back as long as she's there and I sent for a bunch of years. The camp has majorly gone downhill.

Wow, the place is like heaven on earth. My son went there and his life was changed forever. He became a hapier better more spiritual person. Those people really do magical things in that camp. The Place is like a beutifull resort with everything a kid could possibaly want. The food is like a wedding a night. The counsalers are all volunteers which is beutifull, and offcourse they are dedicated caring counsalors who go tremendouslt out of there way to give the campers a good summer. I recomend this camp for everyone. This will be the best desicion you evere made for your child in his life! PS. Best of all its cheap.

There is a lot of construction debri everywhere. The counselors are not trained and even though the ratio of counselors are 5 to 1, it does not make a difference because the counselors seem to have no experience with children. The rabbits and goats are left around the camp and are not properly taken care of. My son got almost none of the e-mail we sent him. They need to make a lot of improvement in the camp and in the training of the personnel.

When we dropped off our camper, the place was dirty, with lots of garbage around. The pool was completely green.From what my son said, there was apparently no daily bunk cleanup. We picked up our kid early, there was crap everywhere.
The counselor are all volunteers which is fine, but they seemed to have no training whatsoever and no common sense. There was a bad Bullying problem which you wouldn't expect from religious kids but they came from rough areas. The kids were eventually kicked but it took a few days and my young son was really scared. On visiting day we found out son had not taken a shower in 9 days. The counselor said "it's camp, what do you expect." They took the kids on a 2-1/2 hour nighttime bus ride to an amusement park, returning home at 4:30 in the morning. Not appropriate for young kids. The worst is that some small animalsin the petting zoo were neglected and died. My son buried his favorite rabbit. Stay away from this place.
