Berkshire Hills lets your child enjoy day camp this summer, and still get a taste of resident camp life and the Berkshire Hills experience before school starts. Rookie Camp packs all the fun of camp into a five day experience for first time campers. Rookie camp begins on Wednesday, August 21st and ends on Sunday, August 25th.

Everyone at Rookie camp is new so all the children get to learn the camp routine together. Rookie Campers follow our traditional camp schedule. They have cabin activities in the morning, electives in the afternoon and unit activities in the evening. Your child will enjoy swimming, sports, arts, nature and campfires before the week is up.

Rookie Camp ends with a family picnic on the shore of our lake. Parents and friends are invited to join their child from 11:00am to 2:00pm for a great afternoon of fun at camp. When Rookie camp ends, your child will be ready to return next summer as a veteran.
