Color war at Berkshire Hills Eisenberg Camp: campers in green shirts cheer and rush the gym floor under the Berkshire Hills Eisenberg Camp banner

Special events at Berkshire Hills: guest performers, camp-wide traditions, and our grand finale Color War!

Beyond daily activity periods, Berkshire Hills comes alive with special events all summer. Campers work with visiting artists and specialists, train in sports clinics led by guest coaches, and dive into programs like Ninja Warrior, Magic, Rocketry, and themed spirit days.

And no summer is complete without our camp wide traditions: the July 4th Carnival, College Olympics, and our epic grand finale Color War!

Color War and other camp traditions

Color War is the highlight of the summer, when the whole camp splits into teams and competes in sports, games, and spirit events. It’s the grand finale of every Berkshire Hills summer, and it creates the memories campers talk about all year long.

Special events happen all summer, on top of daily activity periods, time with their cabin, and evening programs.

Activities include: Guest artists & specialists, sports clinics with visiting coaches, Ninja Warrior, Magic, Rocketry, theme days, July 4th Carnival, College Olympics, Color War
