Where Creative Girls Flourish

Top-tier dance, theater and visual arts instruction, plus all the magic of traditional summer camp

Berkshire Lake Arts Camp is the best of both worlds for girls ages 7-15. A place where creativity and summer camp meet to nurture girls to become their best selves.

Hone in on a specialty, or try a bit of everything. Each girl gets her own entirely unique schedule based on what she decides to do during her time at camp.

It all happens on our beautiful lakeside setting in the Berkshires of Massachusetts. Our facility along Lake Ashmere is complete with modern camper cabins and beautiful, new studios.

What Our Campers & Parents Have to Say

  • "My daughter made wonderful friends and was deeply engaged in the activities. The counselors were warm and caring - and she learned so much. She has been performing her hip hop dance for weeks now and talking happily with her camp friends. She can't wait to return!" - Camper Parent from Staten Island, NY

  • "This camp is so fun and the staff are so kind. I love this camp, 10/10!" - Camper from Washington D.C.

  • "Before signing up, we had so many fears and questions about camp. The staff were patient and kind and took the time and care to answer every question we had, and in the end, our daughter had the best time ever and cannot wait to return. The kindness and reassurance of the team helped us drop her off with confidence, and since returning home, she herself has been confident and assured - we are amazed at her growth after this first big step into “big kid” life. She made real friends there, friends that she said she can really be herself with. The combination of arts and traditional camp experiences was the perfect balance for our kid, and we will definitely be returning!" - Camper Parent from New York, NY

  • "This place helps me feel independent and loved by many." - Camper from Westchester, NY

  • "My daughter absolutely loved her time at camp. As a dancer, she was able to learn and grow with other dancers and phenomenal teachers in a supportive and encouraging environment! We loved the balance of dancing and traditional summer camp activities. She is counting the days until she can go back!" - Camper Parent from Needham, MA

  • “I can't wait to come back because it is extremely fun and the food was amazing! This camp is the best and I love everyone here." - Camper from Westport, CT

  • “This camp was the ideal place for my 12 year-old daughter.  She had never been to sleepaway camp before and I wasn't sure where to look for the right place for her.   From the first time I spoke to Mandi, the director, I knew she'd be in good hands.  Mandi was very thorough and answered all my questions as specifically and patiently as I needed.  I knew she'd be in a caring place, but then I learned from her experience it was not only caring and well thought out, but fun, educational, and really just an all around incredible experience for my daughter.  She made good friends and loved her counselors.  She also was very happy with her improved dance technique when she came home.  Thank you for creating a wonderful camp family for my daughter.  She can't wait to go back!" - Camper Parent from Hillsdale, NJ

  • "I made a new best friend and memories that will last forever." - Camper from Boston, MA
