BRIEF CAMP DESCRIPTION: Camp Bauercrest is a traditional overnight sports camp for Jewish boys located on the shores of beautiful Lake Attitash in Amesbury, MA. Bauercrest is a non-profit camp run by an independent Board of Directors, dedicated to our mission to deliver the best program possible for our families.
Our program philosophy uses the medium of healthy competition and tradition to develop self-esteem, independence, and camaraderie in our boys to create a community unlike any other. We focus our entire program around our four S.T.A.R. principles - Sportsmanship, Teamwork, Achievement, and Responsibility - both on and off the courts and fields, resulting in a fun, supportive, and engaging environment that forms a brotherhood of our campers and staff. It is this sort of tight bond and belonging that we strive to achieve with each of our campers and believe enables them to share an experience that truly lasts “for a lifetime”.
