YMCA Camp Hi-Rock

Summer sleepaway, day, and family camp, adventure trips, and year round group camping in the Berkshires.

Nestled in 1,000 acres of the Berkshire Mountains, surrounded by conservation forest, and centered around our pristine, private, ninety acre lake, YMCA Camp Hi-Rock enjoys a truly magnificent location. While at Hi-Rock, campers learn to act as stewards not only of the camp’s natural setting, but of the global environment in which they live. In the fall, winter, and spring, Hi-Rock offers many mean

ingful programs for individuals, groups, and families, in addition to hosting groups such as scout troops, family reunions, and school and youth group retreats. Year-round, our wide range of facilities including a spacious dining hall, arts and crafts lodge, recreation lodges, rustic cabins, and waterfront building are the perfect complement to your group’s programming needs. Located less than 30 minutes from Great Barrington, MA and about 2.5 hours from both Boston and New York City, our majestic location is a comfortable drive from most major cities in the northeast.

Exciting news for this summer!
Thanks to a generous donor, we have purchased new guitars and will offer guitar classes for campers this summer.
It doesn’t matter if you’re picking up a guitar for the first time or you’ve been playing for years, this is a great opportunity to learn new skills, build confidence, and enjoy making music with friends throughout the summer.
We're excited to see campers try something new, build their skills, and have fun with these new instruments.
A big thank you to the anonymous donor who made this opportunity possible for our campers—we're so grateful for your support!

There is a unique kind of magic that happens when women gather in the woods to lift each other up.

"My career depends on companies adopting AI. It’s here, it’s moving quickly, and it’s not slowing down. But every summer, my daughter gets a few glorious weeks in the Berkshires where none of that matters.

She goes to sleepaway camp, and it is completely screen-free. As the parent of an 11-year-old, I see the iPad addiction up close. Time limits and parental controls help, but not much competes with Roblox and YouTube Shorts. Camp does.

That’s why I love the moment we turn onto the camp road. In 15 minutes, she will be fully unplugged. And once she is, something else kicks in: independence, responsibility, and real human connection.

At camp, kids learn to clean up after themselves, work together, and talk face-to-face. They canoe, do relay races, sing around campfires, and make skits that require teamwork and trust. They even go slug-hunting. It sounds small, but that’s the point: camp teaches kids how to notice the world and each other.

In an AI-first future, that matters more than ever. AI will automate a lot of tasks. What it cannot automate is the need for human connection. Sleepaway camp gives kids a chance to practice exactly that."

Written by the mother of an 11-year-old camper and executive at a leading AI platform company
