The days are warm and the nights cool down quite a bit. You should be prepared for hot, humid days and cool, dry nights. The
temperature in Pittsfield can fluctuate between 70-95 degrees (23-30 degrees Celsius).

This amount is listed in your contract, please check Section 7 for your specific travel allowance.

Once you have your travel to camp booked, please complete the STAFF TRAVEL FORM so that we can arrange your pick up.

You are welcome to bring your personal devices to camp, but we are an "un-plugged" environment so they can only be used during your time off and never in front of campers. If you would like to give your family the camp office number in case of emergency, it is +1 (413) 447-8900.

Yes! WiFi is available in the Staff Lounge where you can use your personal devices. If you have a situation that requires more privacy (such as an online exam or job interview), we can provide this upon request.

Yes - if you are having anything sent to camp, please make sure it is clearly labelled. If placing online orders, please limit it to essentials and remember that our office team is dealing with mail for ALL campers & staff.

Days off typically occur after breakfast (around 9:00 AM). Staff must check in and be in their bunks by 12:30 AM. Staff are given approximately three nights off per week and one full day off. On a night off, you must check in and be back at camp by 12:30 AM. Time off is explained in detail during staff orientation.

Yes! If you are planning to drive to camp, we have a staff parking lot where you can keep your car. You can use your car on days and nights off.

We have a lot of staff that do not have cars at camp so do not feel like this is a must. During staff orientation, we will run a shuttle to Walmart so you can get supplies like toiletries. During the summer, we will have a schedule of day and night off transportation to places like the outlet mall, Walmart, Six Flags and local bars & restaurants.

You will receive your paycheck every two weeks on scheduled pay dates (these dates will be posted in the Staff Lounge at camp). Pay cards are also available for International Staff who do not have a US bank account.

There is NO outside food allowed on camp. In an effort to respond to the needs of many of our campers with food allergies, as well as to ensure the safest environment possible, we are a peanut and tree-nut aware facility. We do not serve any products that may contain peanuts or tree-nuts, and we do not cook with any peanut oils in the dining hall. We expect that you adhere to this policy and NEVER bring any peanut or tree-nut products on camp property. Some of our campers have life threatening allergies. We expect that you maintain a high level of respect for this.

All medications, vitamins, supplements, protein powder, etc. is kept in the Health Center at camp. Meds are distributed by our nurses and will be accessible to you as you need them. If you will be taking medication at camp, please make sure it is listed on your medical forms. If you have any medical-related questions, you can reach out to our Head Nurse, Sarah - [email protected]

We have an allergy kitchen at camp that cooks special meals for campers and staff that require them. Please make sure you include your restrictions on your health history/medical forms and if you have any questions, you can email our Head Nurse, Sarah - [email protected]

All International Staff have health insurance through the agency they received their visa. The agency will give you information about your coverage and provide you with an insurance card. It is important you read the information and print it out before your arrival to camp. If you require a doctor or hospital visit, you will need to present this insurance card to avoid additional costs.

You can still complete the form - please check "no insurance" and continue to fill out your information. We will update it when your agency issues your insurance information.

If you are unable to see a Doctor before the deadline, please let us know when your physical is scheduled so we can keep track. Bring your medical form to your appointment and please submit the form right after!

If you have a doctor's clearance dates AFTER Feb 1st, 2024 you can upload that to Campanion in place of the Winadu form.

You can use your current background check/police clearance as long as it is dated AFTER Sept 1st, 2024. Please email a copy to Mike for review - [email protected]

You can reach out to Mike or Meg with any visa questions!
