Your days are filled with sports, activities, bunk life, meals together, and plenty of time to enjoy everything camp has to offer. On your days off, explore the Berkshires, relax by Onota Lake, play a game with your friends, or simply enjoy being outside.
It’s a busy, active, and unforgettable seven weeks. You’ll work hard, have fun, meet people from all over the world, and leave with friendships and memories that last well beyond the summer.
Meals
Nutrition is an important part of camp life. All meals are provided in our dining hall, including on your days off. Staff receive three meals and three snacks each day, with plenty of options to keep you fueled for an active summer.
Alongside our daily meals, we always have a salad bar with protein options available. Meals range from chicken cutlet sandwiches, burrito bowls, and flatbread pizza to plenty more throughout the summer. Coffee and tea are also available throughout the day.
Laundry
Staff living in bunks with campers receive weekly laundry service. Simply send your clothes out with our laundry team, and your clothes will be washed, dried, folded, and returned to you each week.
Non-bunk staff will have access to our on-site laundry facility to do their own laundry throughout the summer.
Health Center
Your health and well-being are important to us. Our Health Center is available to all staff, with registered nurses on campus to provide care and support throughout the summer. Whether you need basic first aid, are feeling under the weather, or need medical attention, our health team is here to take care of you.
TIME OFF
Camp IS All About The Kids… but there’s lots to see and do on your time off!
You will have plenty of time to explore the New England area and hang out with your new friends.
