With camp only a few weeks away, we are officially turning the corner toward Opening Day for the 2026 season! The fields are coming to life, the lake is warming up under the Berkshire sun, and our pre‑ camp preparations are in full swing. There is a special energy in the air that only this time of year can bring.
While the facility enhancements we have planned are exciting, we know the true magic of camp comes from the people. The strength of our community lives in the friendships formed here, the traditions passed down year after year, and the care, dedication, and spirit of our staff.
We have assembled a terrific team that is eager to welcome your children and help them grow, laugh, connect, and thrive this summer. As we prepare for our 109th summer, we remain committed to our guiding motto: “This will be the best summer yet.”

A few exciting upgrades waiting for campers at the gate this summer —
Building on last year's stone campfire arena, we're officially dedicating this beloved space and installing premium AstroTurf throughout, creating a clean and comfortable home for campfires, Color War Rope Burn, and Hatchet Hunt.
We've added an automated guard gate at our main entrance with 24/7 video screening, giving families a thoughtful new layer of protection to our community.
We've installed a brand-new set of professional, regulation-size goals on the Moss Park field, so whether it's a morning clinic or an evening match, campers get to play like pros.
We've completely resurfaced the full court and added fresh new court coloring, turning Alumni Hall into a polished, top-tier space for indoor hoops, camp-wide events, and rainy-day activities.
Our three pickleball courts and redesigned hockey rink remain a high-energy hub for all ages, and we're adding new shaded areas around the courts this summer to help everyone stay cool.
We're expanding the waterfront with a new pontoon boat, a larger Wibit lake playground, and eight new 10-foot kayaks for a brand-new kayaking program, along with fresh sails, fishing poles, and water skis.
An extra‑ special hello to the campers joining the Lenox family for the first time this summer. We cannot wait to meet you.

Camp Lenox continues to prosper through the kind words and referrals of our supportive families. We have come to call this tradition "The Circle of Friends." Thank you for sharing the magic with new families this year.
