About Camp Emerson
Nestled along the Appalachian Trail in the heart of the Berkshires, Camp Emerson has been creating unforgettable summer experiences for over 50 years. We offer two-week sessions for kids ages 7-15, featuring an exciting mix of activities—Athletics, Performing Arts, Science, Visual Arts, Watersports, and Wilderness adventures. But what truly sets us apart is our welcoming, tight-knit community where kids feel at home.
At Emerson, camp is pure magic. It’s a place where kids feel safe, accepted, and free to be themselves—silly, creative, joyful, and supported through life’s challenges. Deep friendships form, laughter fills the air, and campers leave with confidence and resilience. As they grow, campers step into leadership roles, becoming role models and giving back to their camp family. This unique sense of belonging keeps them coming back summer after summer.
