ARTISTS, PERFORMERS, DIFFERENCE MAKERS, ROLE MODELS

At Berkshire Lake Arts Camp, we pride ourselves on selecting a talented, caring group of staff each summer that embody our philosophy and are warm, creative, positive role models. We accomplish this through:

  • An extensive, multi-part interview process

  • Counselors are vetted for personal skills and experience in performing and visual arts, along with a requirement of having prior experience working with youth

  • In addition to their talents and skills, we only select individuals who are also deeply committed to changing our campers’ lives through the power of a supportive all-girls camp experience

  • 3 different background checks completed annually at the state and federal level

  • All staff come together for a week of orientation and thorough training before the campers arrive
