Our Philosophy
For over 70 years, Berkshire Nature Camp at Pleasant Valley has inspired children’s love for the special nature of western Massachusetts. Campers learn by playing, exploring, and having free choices and guided activities in a safe space with caring instructors. Small groups enable us to follow camper interests, and our large conservation land affords new wildlife encounters each day.
