Chimney Corners Camp YMCA
Private
Chimney Corners Camp is a YMCA overnight (and some day) camp for girls and gender-nonbinary campers who prefer female housing, set on 1,400 acres in the Berkshire hills of Becket and operating since 1931. The traditional program runs four-week sessions for ages 7-15, grouped into Junior, Intermediate, and Senior units, with a two-week starter option for the youngest. Activities include waterfront (swimming, sailing, kayaking), horseback riding, performing and visual arts, outdoor adventure, farm and garden, and woodworking.

★★★★★Will & Marcy HasenplaughOur daughter loves Chimney Corners - it’s been a safe place for her to grow, become more independent and thrive. She’s entering her 4th year at camp and can’t wait to go.
★★★★★Mandy ThomasThis camp has changed my life and my daughter's life. Being an angsty teenager myself and having a daughter managing ADHD and depression, this camp has saved us in many ways. Each summer my daughter returns home as a more confident, wise, and happy person! She has experienced everything being in a riding cabin, traveling to Peru and will spend this summer as an AIDE. Chimney Corners has supported us in so many ways! They have so many programs to offer, AMAZING staff and will help your child grow in only the most positive ways. I wish I could go back and have a summer to disconnect from technology, reconnect with friends and enjoy the love of outdoors and just laugh! I can't say enough good things about Chimney Corners!!!!

★★★★★Regina VargaHad the best summer of my life here as a staff member. For anyone who is hesitating, this is the most amazing camp. Couldn't recommend it more.
★★★★★Guy NeradThe best possible environment for developing leadership, social awareness, and sensitivity to the natural world. We are dedicated lifetime supporters of the camp and its year long outdoor center programming. This is a truly special place.
