Camp Bauercrest

Camp Bauercrest is a traditional overnight sports oriented camp for Jewish boys located in Amesbury, Massachusetts, about 40 miles north of Boston, on the shores of beautiful Lake Attitash. We are a non-profit camp, led by an independent Board of Directors. The camp was founded in 1931.

Bauercrest offers a safe, enjoyable and meaningful camping experience for every camper. Our goal is to build a boy’s identity and self-esteem through the commonly held values of Sportsmanship, Teamwork, Achievement and Responsibility (our S.T.A.R. principles).

Camp Bauercrest Mission

To develop and strengthen our campers both on and off the field through Sportsmanship, Teamwork, Achievement and Responsibility.

At Bauercrest, campers make friendships that last a lifetime. The majority of our campers and counselors return year after year, thus further strengthening the bonds of camaraderie. The friendships forged at Bauercrest transcend the boundaries of time and geography and are the reason the Bauercrest experience is truly “for a lifetime”.
