Welcome to the URJ Crane Lake Camp! Through the years, Crane Lake Camp has offered thousands of youngsters the chance to develop lasting relationships, embrace new experiences, and explore what being Jewish means to them. We invite you to find out more about Crane Lake Camp and our commitment to providing your child with a fun, safe, and unforgettable summer experience.

Since 1998, when Crane Lake Camp joined the URJ family of resident camps, youngsters from the URJ’s Northeast, Greater New York, and New Jersey-West Hudson Valley regions have come to our home in West Stockbridge, MA to experience the transformative power of Jewish camping.

Our caring and committed staff members (many of whom were campers themselves) strive to enrich the campers’ experiences by helping them build lasting friendships. These relationships lay the foundation for our summer community, providing encouragement and support. Our intimate camp environment allows campers to embrace the challenge of learning new skills in athletics, aquatics, the arts, and adventure and nature programs. What’s more, campers also immerse themselves in a wide range of innovative Jewish educational pursuits and creative spiritual experiences.

From the youngest of our campers to the oldest of our Machon (Counselors-in-Training), every child who spends a summer at Crane Lake Camp returns home a little wiser, a little more self-confident, and a little more connected to the Jewish community. A summer at Crane Lake Camp is more than a summer of fun. A summer at Crane Lake is meant to last a lifetime.
