The number and range of activities are amazing and there is great flexibility in allowing kids to try new things and adjust their schedules when they find what they love. As a result my son really stretched himself and had some amazing new experiences. The Camp's management of food allergies is unparalleled. My son felt safe and included the whole time and loved the food. The Director was so accessible and reassuring. All of my questions got answered and I felt totally comfortable while my son as there. We highly recommend this special place!

tldr: great views of nature, friendly staff, and good accommodations…read more Came here with a group of peers for a bonding overnight stay in late fall. Food was good and accommodated dietary restrictions, and sleeping accommodation provided a bathroom and mattress but no sheets (we brought sleeping bags and pillows). Everyone really enjoyed the big swing and Alpine tower activity. Our group was large enough that they split us up to do each activity - my group enjoyed the firestarting/survival shelter activity but not as much as the swing/tower. The swing is doable for anyone, and you can decide how high you are pulled up before swinging. The tower is challenging and only one or two of our 15-person mini-group was able to reach the top. Plan to wear clothes that you can move around a lot, and walk in the woods in. They did not have a large indoor meeting to sit 30-40 people, but we were able to fit in a room off the main cafeteria, with some people sitting on tables/the floor. The campfire at night was set up ahead of time for us, and they included materials for s'mores. The guide was sure we'd have enough supplies but we ended up running out of some parts (they're called s'mores for a reason!). The staff there ran a cultural sensitivity activity for us, which we enjoyed with everyone in our large group.

Our daughter has done this as a week-long day camp (at Bement Summer Camp) twice now. Each year was…read moresimilar but the daily activities changed. Regardless, she LOVES this program! Plenty to challenge older / more experienced kids, but also moving at a pace the younger crowd can keep up with. Last year, her favorites were kayaking and caving. This year, raft-building and caving. She starts each day excited for a new adventure, and comes home worn out and so full of stories. The guides have all been fantastic - knowledgeable about the trails, history, and environmental topics; good at setting expectations about the day's activities and rules; and great with kids of varying abilities. Caving may be the best thing about this program. Our family hikes & paddles regularly, but caving is best done with a guide who's done the cave before and can set expectations realistically. When our daughter comes back from the caving days, her clothes are wet and filthy, she tells stories about impossibly narrow and tight passages, and she grins the whole time. It's such a great experience and has really expanded her enjoyment of our outdoor adventures. My only request is that the guides would give parents a list of where they went, complete with recommended parking and recommended routes - so we can try these things too! Well, except the caving. I'd want a guide for that!

We brought my son's 6th Grade class here for an adventure and no one left disappointed. You could…read moresee quite a few of the class were tentative as they entered the cave but once they got inside all of there faces lit up as they began to explore. Our guides were Anna and Benjamin and both were great with the kids. They told us stories and taught us all some facts about how the caves were formed, what was down there, and how they would look in the future. We explored some of the larger areas of the cave and also some of the tighter passages. It was peaceful, challenging, meditative, and fun. It's also worth noting the care Anna and Benjamin took to make sure that everyone had a pleasurable and safe experience. They were supportive to push us to get a little outside of our comfort zones but were equally supportive and attentive if someone felt they had reached their limit. It's been two days and the class is still talking about the trip. I plan to get as many of the kids and parents together to do this again some time in the near future. I do not have enough words to express the gratitude I feel for this experience.

I've been going to SHOW Circus Studio for three years now and have taken a wide variety of classes…read morefrom ground skills to aerials. I'm not exaggerating at all when I say that SHOW has totally changed my life, greatly improved my self-confidence, and totally increased my overall happiness. SHOW's classes present a unique opportunity to progressively develop really fun skills over several weeks. You would be hard pressed to find other spaces to develop this level of skills in tumbling, handstands, aerial apparatuses, etc. anywhere else. It's an amazing way to get a workout while having a ton of FUN and feeling super loved and supported! Not only that, but SHOW is a loving community of humans from the teachers right down to the students, of which there are many regulars. You can come in wherever you are at in terms of skills or openness to new people and new experiences, and you will be welcomed, asked what your preferred pronouns are, and checked in with regularly about how your body is feeling. I have never found another environment in which to build strength and stamina where this is the case. I HIGHLY recommend taking a tumbling or partner acrobatics class with Tara. These are super fun and playful skills to practice while building your strength and dynamic power, and Tara is a really talented and supportive teacher. You won't regret it and you might even get sucked deeper and deeper into classes at SHOW like I have!

Camp was always an important part of my childhood growing up and they are always set on beautiful lakes. It also allowed all of our guests to spend the whole weekend on site and participate in the outdoor activities that we love. We researched and looked at over 30 camps all over New England and I truly believe that we picked the best one. The grounds are beautiful and all of our guests were comfortable. What really elevated Camp Lenox was the staff. They were all so helpful and kind. They did not hesitate to drive guests around in golf carts or run across camp to get something for us. One guest was on crutches and said that she felt like she had a tracker on her, because whenever she needed to go somewhere, a golf cart was ready and waiting for her. The staff also did an amazing job setting up the reception area for us. They cared about the details and took their time. It was very apparent that they had done weddings before. It was so nice to invite all of the camp staff who worked our wedding out on the dance floor with us at the end of the night to celebrate the special day that they all took a part in creating. A few special shout outs are in order. Luke, the director of operations, was our point of contact during the planning process. He was always quick to respond to emails and answered all of our questions. He takes a lot of pride in the weddings that he organizes and it shows. He made the planning process so easy and we trusted him fully. Victor, the camp chef, made incredible food. My one worry planning a wedding at a camp was the food would just be ok. Boy, was I wrong. I have friends who are still talking about his potatoes, and my wedding was seven months ago. All of the meals were delicious. The camp owners, Rich and Stephanie, were so welcoming and kind. They are very proud of their camp and wanted to ensure that each of our guest were comfortable. 10/10 would recommend Camp Lenox for your wedding!
