Berkshire South is such a valuable part of our community, but it's also great for visitors looking…read morefor a place to workout or swim indoors. The employees are helpful, facilities good quality, and hours convenient. There are always a ton of fun programs offered: cooking classes, arts and crafts, swim and fitness lessons, babysitting and life guard certifications (look for them out patrolling local lakes in the summer!), dance for kids and adults, guided nature walks, etc. etc. You can even host a birthday party here! Most importantly, this organization does such vital good work for our community - from providing excellent childcare and day camps for families to offering free community suppers and discounted memberships to those in need. People of all ages and backgrounds can find a deep sense of belonging here. I truly appreciate all the work the staff and volunteers do for the people of Great Barrington and nearby towns.

Berkshire South is a terrific facility with a wonderful, friendly staff. The COVID protocol is top…read morenotch. The problem is that their policy is to sic a collection agency on you if a payment problem occurs. I had a monthly membership and lost my credit card. Every other company with which I'd set up auto payments sent me an email with a few days grace to set up my new card. I never got an email from Berkshire South but did get a dunning letter from a collection agency. I live in town too small to have postal delivery, and I don't retrieve my mail from the post office daily so I missed the letter. I eventually got a call from the collection agency and that day drove to Berkshire South to pay my monthly fee (plus a $20 collection fee) and set up my new card. I got another call from the collection agency a couple of weeks later and drove to Berkshire South to see if they could get the collection agency off my back and if there was a way I could join on a monthly basis that wasn't automatically billed. The receptionist told me that the membership manager had just started a phone meeting, so I took her card to handle the matter over the phone. I left two messages for her - her title is Membership and Rentals Manager. Neither call was returned. So I called the collection agency and was told that Berkshire South had called them and I was no longer on their books. So that's cleared up, but I don't know if there's a membership set up that would work for me. I left what I hope is a final message with the Membership and Rentals Manager asking her to cancel my membership - unfortunately, that seems to be my only option - and to inform me by mail or phone that it's been cancelled. I really hope I get an email or a phone call and I'm wondering if I should just cancel the auto-payment and hope they don't sic a collection agency on me again.

This community center located in the heart of Brattleboro is open to the public daily and provides a great space for community events. Every year the night before Strolling of the Heifers this building hustles and bustles with vendors providing free samples of their homemade or locally made products. This year we tried out some incredible ciders here as well as some delicious callah. The other great thing about this center is that the public can also rent it out. We have seen a few weddings held here and the last time we walked by there was a farmers market being held to support impoverished families in the area. Overall, this building is a community/welcome center by day but it turns into a variety of incredible cultural and community event spaces.
