Camp Becket

Camp Becket, also known as Camp Becket-in-the-Berkshires, is a YMCA summer camp for boys in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts. Founded in 1903 by George Hannum on Rudd Pond in Becket, Massachusetts,[1] it is one of the oldest continually operational summer camps in the United States, and is consistently rated among the best camps of its kind. The camp aspires to teach core values espoused by its second director, Henry Gibson.[2]
