Camp Emerson
About
Camp Emerson is an overnight summer camp for girls and boys, age 7-15. Our campers design their own programs from 50 activities including: athletics, visual arts, performing arts, watersports on 2 lakes, swimming in our heated pool, wilderness and our Step Beyond Program – cooking, science, engineering, rocketry, CO2 race cars, woodworking and more!
Camp Emerson is located on 170 beautiful acres in the Berkshire Mountains of western Massachusetts – 3 hours from Boston and New York City.
Camp Emerson is also a Food Allergy Specialist. We are peanut, treenut, sesame and shellfish free. Children with multiple anaphylactic allergies eat safely and can focus on being themselves and having fun.
Join us for either 2, 4 or 6 weeks during our children’s camp or come for Family Camp or our Women’s Getaway Weekends.

We have found that camp provides the perfect atmosphere for improving and expanding conversational English while having fun at the same time. Your child will be living and interacting with American children of the same age. We have many years of successful experience with campers of varying degrees of English ability. We are happy to give additional support to any camper who needs a little extra help. There are no formal ESL classes at camp.
