Shire Village is a spirited community which is created every summer
by the campers, counselors, and specialists who attend. Nestled in the
gentle mountains of the Berkshires, Shire Village has over twenty five
years of history and adventure and an empowering philosophy of child-centered camping.
Specialists offer strong programs in areas such as theater, horseback
riding, arts and crafts, farm and nature, and swimming. The camp has about
one hundred 8-14 year olds and has a camper/staff ratio of just 4 to 1.
This allows us to create a supportive environment which emphasizes our core
values of cooperative play, respect for individual differences, creativity,
active participation, and healthful living.
Shire Village offers young people a unique and joyful experience; many of our staff (including both of the directors) are former campers who return and stay for many summers.
We invite you to review the information on this site and, if you are interested, go to the "For Families" section. If you're interested in a staff job at Shire Village, please go to the "For Staff Applications" section. |
