Camping gives kids a foundation for life. At Becket, campers are part of a caring community that supports them to try new things, participate in fun summer camp activities, make lasting friends, and learn values that help guide them throughout life.
At Camp Becket we offer a traditional, rustic, overnight camp experience. Unlike other New England sleepaway camps, our boys camp provides leadership programs and other activities that help shape them into strong and caring leaders in their local communities.
For Campers Finishing 2nd–4th Grade, this is a confident first step into overnight camp because for some children, four weeks at camp feels exciting. But, for others, it feels like a very big step.
The Starter Program is designed specifically for younger campers who are ready to try camp — but may not yet feel ready for a full four-week session.
Four-week sessions are foundational to our residential camp experience. Our camp programs are intentionally designed to support campers’ social-emotional growth. Four weeks allows campers to move through homesickness, build new skills, and develop strong relationships within their cabin groups – all of which have a life-changing impact.
Our camps are single-gender plus experiences, which means we strive to support gender inclusivity while maintaining the benefits and value provided by a single-gender experience. Camp Becket is for boys and gender non-binary campers. There are many great things that young people learn from each other in an all-gender environment and most get ample opportunity to navigate these relationships during the school year. We believe that campers thrive when given the opportunity to spend time in a place that supports and celebrates the gender with which they most identify.
By design, our camp experiences are unplugged and allow campers to step away from the pressure they experience in their digital lives.
Without access to cell phones and computers, campers are given the freedom to focus on what’s right in front of them.
