Come work, live, and play with us this summer in the heart of the culturally rich Berkshires in Western MA!
Camp Becket for Boys is a resident camp programs. We offer a specific gender camp experience to campers finishing 2nd – 9th grade (ages 7-16). Campers stay for 4-week sessions although our youngest campers (finishing 2nd – 3rd) may opt for a 2-week starter program session. Campers attend the camp that best reflects their identity, and we support campers and staff members in the full spectrum of their identity expression while providing space that celebrates a specific gender. This aspect of our program should be considered when applying and staff should choose the program that best reflects their identity.
