Activities
Camp activities at Berkshire Hills fill every day with choices. Campers swim, climb, create, compete, perform, and explore, trying new things alongside favorites they come back to summer after summer.
Outdoor Adventure
You’ll be hard pressed to find a longer camp zipline than our quarter-mile ride across Miller Pond. Our climbing wall and 11-element high ropes course build confidence, and low ropes, archery, team building, and fire building round out a program that challenges campers and grows their independence.
Waterfront
Every camper gets daily swim lessons through the end of 7th grade, and the rest of the waterfront is pure summer fun.
Sports
At Berkshire Hills, our camp sports program helps every camper get better, whatever their skill level. Campers sharpen the sports they already love, like soccer, basketball, and softball, try new ones, and find their place on the team.
Performing Arts
Music, drama, and dance take center stage at Berkshire Hills. Campers star in full musical productions, perform dance numbers, and play drama games.
Arts & Crafts
From paintbrush to pottery wheel, campers explore a wide range of visual arts with our art staff, and camper-made murals add color to camp.
Cooking & Baking
Campers get hands-on in our bistros, learning real kitchen skills from our chef. Younger campers start with simple, fun recipes, while older campers take on bigger challenges at the stove.
Special Events
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.
Trips
Campers head off-site on day trips to Zoom Flume, Legoland, Quassy Amusement Park, and Lake Compounce.
