About Our Summer Camp
The Berkshire Hills-Emanuel Camps family exists to provide children and senior adults, regardless of financial means, with a shared, fun, rewarding, and safe summer camping experience, through diverse activities and programs, in a Jewish environment.
Berkshire Hills-Emanuel Camps' vision is to further our leadership in the field of traditional camping by continuing to foster community building, personal growth and intergenerational interaction while enhancing and developing our programs and facilities to meet the changing needs and interests of our constituents.
Berkshire Hills Emanuel Camps values are:
- Family - "generation to generation"

- Adaptability - we change with you and for you
- Excellence
- Board
- staff
- volunteers
- programs and services
- experiences and outcomes
- Fun - we believe that everyone is entitled to a happy childhood and "elderhood"
- Menschlichkeit
- our young generation of recipients/clients are the future Mensches (good people) of the world
- our older generation of recipients/clients are Mensches and living examples to our young generation
- Informal education in a group living
- individual growth
