My first summer at Belvoir was when the camp was only 5 years old, there were 50 campers, and we all lived in the main building. Since then I have returned to Belvoir for reunions and informal visits, and every time, despite the spectacular growth and changes that have taken place at the camp, I still feel like I am coming ‘home’.
It was at Belvoir where I fine-tuned my ballet abilities, which led to a successful career as a soloist with American Ballet Theater in the 1960s. It was also at Belvoir where I discovered my other passion – pottery. Although it was almost half a century later that I began to study ceramics seriously, I now have a thriving pottery business, www.earthdancespottery.com.
The creative opportunities offered at Belvoir have literally lasted me a lifetime, and I remain deeply grateful to Edna Schwartz and Nancy Schwartz Goldberg for making it all happen.

I was a camper the very first couple of years at Belvoir. I go back to Lenox every summer and love to see how Belvoir has grown, After 50 + years I just got to see my best Belvoir Friend while visiting Boston. It was really neat to reunite. She had many, many old Belvoir pictures that she shared with me. I am only sorry I had no daughters or granddaughters to send to Belvoir. What wonderful years they were
