Review for Surprise Lake Camp, New York, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Surpise Lake Camp is by far a one of a kind place. It has shaped my life in a number of ways. I highly recommend this camp. It is a special place that will be part of your life forever. Once you are apart of it, you become part of this amazing SLC family.

They met, fell in love and two years later they were married. This year they will be celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary. In 1977, I was born and then my sister in 1980. Being part of this organization shaped me into the person I am today. I learned to be an independent person at SLC. In addition, I have a love of Judaism
