Our story
Purchased in 1947 by Dr. Shlomo Bardin, Brandeis Bardin Campus (BBC) to house Shlomo’s experimental “laboratory for living Judaism,” BBC is now a premier center for Jewish life, innovation, and experience—hosting AJU programs, personal events, conferences, Hollywood productions, and more.
Our flexible indoor and outdoor spaces are able to accommodate up to 500 people—from sunlit meeting rooms to large event halls.
Horseback riding, hiking trails, ropes courses, athletic fields, creative arts spaces, and more keep visitors busy all day.
We serve Glatt kosher meals in our communal dining halls, and tailor menus to your group’s needs.
Overnight guests stay in private cottages or shared cabins with easy access to dining halls, meeting spaces, and outdoor gathering areas.
Select areas offer wifi, while the surrounding campus invites visitors to fully unplug.
The BBC team takes care of the agenda and details so you can focus on the experience—blending your guests and goals with our dedicated staff and specialized programming.
Schools, youth groups, synagogues, and nonprofits turn to BBC for new experiences and a focused reset—filling days with structured learning, workshops, and outdoor activities to strengthen teams and recharge.
