Summer Day Camp
at Lane Farm
 
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!

 
     
Explorer Camp

Hours: 9:00 AM — 4:00 PM

Explorer Camp offers children the opportunity to explore and discover while enjoying a day of exciting summer activities. Campers are divided into villages by age, and participate in appropriate activities that have been carefully planned. The younger villages enjoy hikes, arts & crafts, nature, archery, sports and more. The older villages enjoy these traditional camp activities, as well as participating in our Challenge Course Program that includes a climbing tower and bouldering room.

 
     
Discovery Camp

Discovery Camp offers a half-day experience for pre-schoolers. The activities include circle time, story time, swimming, arts & crafts and more. Discovery Camp is a great introduction to a full-day summer camp program!
