http://www.americascamp.org
Currently enrolling boys and girls, ages 7-15, for its August 2010 session.
America’s Camp is now enrolling boys and girls, ages 7 to 15, for its ninth summer in the beautiful Berkshire Mountains of western Massachusetts. The session will begin on Tuesday, August 17, 2010 and finish on Tuesday, August 24, 2010. Bus service is provided free of charge to and from camp on those days.
This week-long, sleep-away camp is offered at no cost to eligible families. The campers have diverse backgrounds and interests, but share a common experience – they have all lost a parent or sibling either in the 9/11 attacks or in the line of duty at any time as a firefighter or law enforcement officer. A mature, enthusiastic staff is thoroughly trained to ensure a positive, fun, supportive environment. Camper-to-staff ratio is better than 2:1. Campers self-select activities from a wide range of individual and team sports, the arts and hobbies, and water activities at both the pool and lake. Trips and special events highlight a fun-packed week in a picturesque setting with great facilities. For information about the camp and enrollment, families can contact Beth Griffin at 1-800-548-6295 or e-mail her at the camp office at beth@americascamp.org or visit the camp website above.
