Rookie Days 2022
Rookie Days at Berkshire Hills are the perfect opportunity for your child to enjoy and see camp through the eyes of a BHEC camper. The day will begin together at 10:00am. After a little snack and some getting to know one another, your child will join a camper buddy from their age group and a counselor and be swept away to experience fun activities and tour camp while being engaged and making connections. Before heading off your child will receive a sweet treat and goody bag from camp as a memory of all the fun they had during the Rookie Day!
Parents, while your child experiences camp and hops off to an adventure with new friends and our terrific staff, you will have the opportunity to tour camp with our Executive Director, Adam Weinstein and our Assistant Director, Jenn Carbone. There will be plenty of time to ask all those questions on your mind and to speak to other staff throughout camp.
Once the tour has concluded, enjoy an afternoon exploring the wonderful Berkshires and Hudson Valley region. Some of our recommendations include:
• Great Barrington, MA: Enjoy a meal at one of the many restaurants on Railroad Street and grab a scoop at SOCO Creamery
• Hudson, NY: Explore shops and restaurants along Warren Street
• Millerton, NY: Grab some lunch and take a walk along the Harlem Valley Rail Trail
• Bash Bish Falls: Enjoy a scenic hike up to the waterfall
Rookie Days will take place on:
• Sunday, July 17th
