YMCA Camp Hi-Rock

Call Directions Website Contact the organization

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 meaningful 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.

We are so proud of Tee Lucia, a former Hi-Rock counselor! 🩷

We are very proud to congratulate Miss Teresa Christofi on being recognised as a winner of The Roger Hunter OAM Excellence in Beginning to Teach Award as part of the 2026 Queensland College of Teachers TEACHX Awards 🏆

The TEACHX Awards recognise and celebrate the outstanding contribution Queensland teachers make to their students, schools and communities. In 2026, only 26 teachers across Queensland were chosen from more than 370 nominations.

Miss Tee has been recognised for her commitment to creating equitable opportunities for students through sport. Over the past three years, she has expanded access to sporting experiences, helping our students build confidence, take on new challenges and achieve success at representative and state levels. Driven by the belief that a student's postcode should never limit their opportunities, Miss Tee has worked closely with students, families, coaches and the wider community to foster participation, aspiration and achievement.

This is a fantastic recognition of Miss Tee’s valuable contribution to Cloncurry State School P–12 and our wider community.

Congratulations, Miss Tee!
