Camp Overview
Celebrating our 50th Summer, Camp Emerson is an overnight summer camp for Boys and Girls age 7-15, family owned since 1968! We have 100 passionate staff supervising up to 230 campers.
Our Campers design their own weekly schedule from 50 activities: Athletics, Visual Arts, Performing Arts, Watersports, Swimming, Wilderness and Step Beyond Program – Cooking, Science, Engineering and more! We have huge special events, trips and surprises sprinkled throughout our program. Located on 170 acres in the Berkshires, with 2 lakes and a heated pool. Camp Emerson is a Food Allergy Specialist. We are peanut, treenut, sesame and shellfish free. Children and Staff with multiple anaphylactic allergies eat safely and can focus on being themselves and having fun. There is a 10 day Staff Development Camp, followed by 2, 4 or 6 weeks options for Campers!
"Before I set out for Camp Emerson I didn't really know what to expect but It's one of those places that I wished I had experienced as a child and a place I feel privileged to have been part of. The energy of the entire camp, and inclusiveness from the kids to the other counselors is second to none. {Camp Emerson is} a place so full of energy it's impossible not to get involved in the entire atmosphere.” – Ivan (Art).
Pursue your passion and share it with great kids!
