★★★★Christopher SeccoSeems like a good place to me! Hard to get a full idea as I haven't been a camper or councilor. But as a food service worker, the Company currently holding the contract is doing a great job.
★★★★★Kris “Cat Paws”Wonderful place and wonderful people! There's so much to do on the beautiful grounds. Relax, be active or learn a new skill.
★★★★★Gabriel LevinI went here for 3 years as a camper and was a homesick kid who was afraid of leaving home but this place is something different. Everyone that you spend 4 weeks becomes family to you. Everything about this place is perfect and gave me the most fun summers I will ever have. If you thinking about going here no matter who you are you should come to Becket. It will change your life forever. It teaches you lessons that will last you a lifetime.
★★★★★Paulette & Matt Griswold (Novella Photography)If you’re lucky enough to rent Camp Becket for your wedding, you’ll have a beautiful, meaningful, relaxed, and fun gathering that tour friends and family will never EVER forget. We photographed a wedding at Camp Becket but we wish we had known about it sooner- because we would have picked it for our own wedding!! A truly special, beautiful place filled with wonderful people.
★★★★★Larry WynnHad an amazing time with my students. The grounds are beautiful. We stayed at one of the largest cabins. It was pretty nice. The staff are super friendly and patient lol. My favorite part was archery and seeing my students canoeing.
