Every summer our remarkable campers are living the dream of a place where everyone belongs and everyone knows each other's name. They are living the dream of lasting friendships and endless fun. They are living the dream of feeling included and secure with bunkmates, teammates, and campmates in a caring, coed community. They are living the dream of becoming more self-confident and reinventing themselves in new situations.
Our Hobby Elective hour, when each camper chooses an activity he or she would like to specialize in for the week, includes our traditional sports, arts, waterfront, and adventure programs, alongside other innovative offerings like outdoor fitness, cooking, science, rocketry, Frisbee Golf, fashion design, synchronized swimming, and more!

Camp Watitoh offers a balanced program of land sports, water sports, adventure and creative and performing arts for boys and girls ages 7–16. Campers enjoy a mix of instruction, choice and all-camp activities, trying new things and developing their talents within a structured daily schedule, evening programs and signature special events in the Berkshires.
Since 1937, our warm, family-oriented, coed camp, nestled in the heart of the Berkshire Mountains on crystal-clear Center Lake, has provided a safe and supportive environment where each of our campers can live summer dreams and make them come true in their summer home.
The entire camp eats meals together, a great way of creating close community and family. Sitting with bunkmates and counselors, campers are served family-style by our camper waiters, our oldest boys — a special tradition at Watitoh. A meal does not go by without singing and cheering from the entire camp!
Our daughter has formed amazing friendships, a sense of independence and confidence and a connection to this camp that I don't think she would have found elsewhere. It's obvious, but we highly recommend Camp Watitoh.
The younger boys saw the waiters as the 'big brothers' of camp and aspired to someday be like them, and all campers formed a special bond with the waiter who was assigned to their table throughout the summer. The waiters found their names included in lyrics of repurposed camp songs and cheers proclaiming appreciation and gratitude. Waiters were the leaders of the boys' side of camp, leading the spirit and brotherhood on campus and setting the tone for other campers. It was clear the young men treated their role as an honor.
