Can't Wait for Summer?Registration for February and April Vacation Week Camps is open now! |
At Berkshire Nature Camp, campers ages 3-17 have fun and make friends as they discover nature! Trail explorations, wildlife observation, outdoor play, hands-on activities, games, and crafts keep campers engaged throughout the summer.
We offer camp in two locations—at Pleasant Valley Wildlife Sanctuary in Lenox and at Canoe Meadows Wildlife Sanctuary in Pittsfield.
