Who Can Attend?

Come with your pack, troop, crew or even your family! You can also come by yourself for the day program or be a part of a overnight provisional unit. New this year, we will be offering programs for families. Learn more here!

• BSA only allows Lions to attend summer family, not summer day or resident camp.
• BSA requires Tigers to have an adult partner for day, resident, and family camp.
• We require Wolves attending resident camp provisionally (not attending with their Pack) to have a responsible adult and recommend the same for Bears.

How Long Does Camp Run?

There are three options for when anyone, regardless of program, can attend each week:

Full Week Resident Camp

          A: Sunday, 1:00 pm to Wednesday, 11:00 am.

          B: Wednesday, 1:00 pm to Saturday, 11:00 am. Currently paused due to state COVID-19 standards.

Day Program Only

      Runs Monday - Friday each week from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm.

How Do I Register?

To register for camp, click the appropriate button(s) for the week(s) that you would like to attend. Please note the following:

1. Units need to use the established account in Tentaroo to register and submit all payments as a unit. Individual payments by members of your unit will not be accepted. Do not create your own account! If you do not know your unit's login information, please contact the Council Office at 413-594-9196 ext 7033.

2. Individuals will need to create an account to register and submit payments as a Counselor-in-Training (CIT) or as a member of one of our provisional units.

3. Families will need to create an account to register and submit payments as a family.

4. There are many categories to choose from when indicating how many youth/adults will be attending. Please carefully select the appropriate categories for the camp you wish to attend.

A complete listing of the categories and when to use them appears in the Summer Camp Registration document (available below).
