The Becket-Chimney Corners YMCA Day Camp
encourages children to grow socially, physically and intellectually
in a safe and nurturing environment. Our Day Camp is nestled
in the beautiful Berkshire Hills of Western Massachusetts.
Located just off Route 8 on Lane Road, the site offers playing
fields, an activity barn and access to Rudd Pond at Camp Becket
for boating and swimming.
We offer two unique day camp programs, Explorer
Camp, a full day program for children ages 6-12, and Discovery
Camp, a half day program for children ages 3-5. Both programs
meet at the Lane Farm, and include swimming, arts & crafts,
games and more!
