★★★★★Leah GallantThis place specializes in summer. My son just finished the four-week session and had the most marvelous time: new friends, excellent counselors, wonderful activities, brotherhood, and camaraderie. All the staff are exceptionally kind, professional, and welcoming.
★★★★★Julia NameI went here, it was a really great summer camp, especially compared to a different summer camp I went to. The food was good, and I made friends. The only things I could complain about were the mandatory dance, and a water problem that resulted from a drought. There could also be problems for a camper who really does not want to follow the schedule, as there are only so much staff, but I think schedules are helpful for most campers. Overall, I would highly recommend, I just included some complaints for the review to be more transparent.
★★★★★Jeffrey TaylorLocated in the beautiful Berkshire forests surrounded by lakes and rivers. Camp offers host of experiences, events and learning opportunities for diverse groups and peoples. Community-minded altruistic organization funded by public and private means. Staff genuine, outgoing leaders.
★★★★★Vincent GarofoliWe went here on the off season for the Becket Children's Christmas Party and the camp was beyond generous in hosting this event. Food was perfect, activities were spot on, and the overall atmosphere and work they put into this was beyond words. Great place and even better people!
