Bauercrest was founded in 1931 by four Jewish Community Centers
in the Boston area. Since then, we have maintained a Jewish religious
component throughout the camp, including kosher food, daily prayers
before and after meals, Friday night and Saturday morning services,
and a full-time camp Rabbi who oversees a Judean program for the
campers.
Services include participation from numerous campers. Our Israeli
counseling program also brings a great deal of Jewish and Israeli
culture to our campers. For those boys approaching their Bar Mitzvah,
Bauercrest offers tutoring during the camping season.
