A Day at Camp
Now that you have some idea of where Lenox has been, it's time to learn about where it is today. The sun is just beginning to rise above the Berkshire Mountains and...
7:30 AM Wake Up
Rise and shine! The bugle blows and you roll out of your bunk...the PA system starts pumping out music while you brush your teeth and prepare for the day ahead.
8:00 AM Morning Flagpole
Report to the flagpole. Staff and campers "call out" anyone who has done something special. You hear your name "...for not giving up when the team was ready to quit" and join the others to form the "honor guard" and raise the flag.
8:15 AM Breakfast
Life at camp has given you an appetite equal to the most important meal of the day. Hot pancakes, maple syrup, fresh fruit, and you're on your way!
9:15 AM Bunk Clean-up
Get ready for inspection! You make your bed, put all your stuff away, and tidy up the cabin. No loafing!
9:40 AM Individual Elective
Twice a day you pursue electives — instructional activities designed to improve your skills. Coaches and their assistants work closely with you and a few other campers in a small group setting. Each week you get to choose new electives.
11:05 AM Group Period
Your favorite — Group Period. On any given day it could be baseball, softball, basketball, soccer, tennis, lacrosse, outdoor education, art, swimming, or an intramural league.
12:30 PM Lunch
You could eat your socks you're so hungry! The cooks can’t get the food on the table fast enough. Ribs hot off the grill, fries, a trip to the salad bar - seconds anyone?/p>
1:15 PM Rest Hour
You're ready to chill out. Yesterday you wrote a letter home — can Mom and Dad understand HOW MUCH FUN you're having? Today your cabin visits the Canteen.
2:20 PM Individual Activity
Today, it's time to saddle up and hit the riding ring with your faithful steed.
3:30 PM Group Period
Your team is playing in the tournament today. You've practiced all week...you know you're ready. Keep your head down, focus, and don't lose sight of the ball.
4:30 PM Flex Period
Some days your team has practice, sometimes you spend a little extra time working on your passing skills, but today is hot and Shaw Pond is calling your name. Jump in!
5:45 PM Evening Flagpole
You "call out" your bunk-mate. He really did an amazing job sweeping out all of that mud you tracked in yesterday. The "honor guard" lowers the flag and returns it to the rafters of the Dining Hall.
6:00 PM Dinner
Mmmmmmm... Can you smell tacos?
7:15 PM Group Period
What would a summer at camp be without a good old fashioned Egg Toss? Careful with your egg! If you break it, you won't get it for breakfast tomorrow morning.
8:30 PM Back to Cabins
One final shot and it will be time for Lower Camp to prepare for bed. Upper Camp gets ready for their Late Night Activity.
9:00 PM Taps
The bugle plays Taps and Lower Camp turns out their lights. You and the Upper Campers quietly gather for Evening Program.
