For a lifetime.

In a recent reflection, CJP President and CEO Marc Baker shared the impact Jewish summer camp can have on the lives of young people — a story he knows personally through his own 12 summers at Camp Bauercrest.

Marc first came to the Hillside as a homesick camper and went on to become a counselor, Group Leader, and Assistant Director. Looking back, he credits his years at Bauercrest with helping shape his independence, leadership, Jewish identity, and connection to community.

“So much of the person I am today is because of my time ‘on the hillside.’”

Marc’s story captures so much of what we believe makes summer camp special. The games, activities, traditions, and moments of a summer matter. But what lasts are the relationships, the opportunities to challenge yourself and grow, the feeling of being part of something bigger than yourself, and the community that becomes yours.

Those experiences don’t end when the summer does. They become part of who our boys are and who they will become.

As Marc writes, the impact on their lives and their Jewish journeys can truly last “for a lifetime.”

We’re grateful to Rabbi Baker for sharing his story and for continuing to champion the importance of Jewish summer camp for the next generation. We couldn’t be more thankful for the support from CJP - Combined Jewish Philanthropies and Foundation for Jewish Camp!

Dear Bauercrest Families,
We’re sorry if the tears in our eyes when you came to pick us up hurt your feelings. It’s not that we didn’t miss you. You know we did. It’s just hard to wake up without Reveille, immediately followed by Yaffa’s booming “GOOD MOOOOOOORNING, CAMP BAUERCREST!” It’s hard to wake up without all this. So please be patient with us. We love you so much. We’re just really, really campsick.
💙
