90 years of tradition has enabled Camp Half Moon of Massachusetts to remain one of the best places to send your kid to camp for the summer. The small size and wide variety of activities makes this Berkshire Camp a bit hit with it's camp families.
(prHWY.com) April 23, 2012 - Great Barrington, MA -- The unfortunate evolution of the summer camp industry as a whole, is that it has trended towards smaller camps being swallowed up by larger corporations in order to shave down the operating costs. There is nothing cheap or easy about running a camp, and in the lean years it can be challenging to fill the spots that a camp has to offer. The temptation to take the money and run when a large check is dangled in front of a camp owner's face has proven to be too much for many of them to ignore.
Fortunately for the people that know about it, Camp Half Moon of the Berkhshire Mountains has remained a family run operation for the past 90 years. Only three different families have owned Camp Half Moon, with the current owners having been running the show since 1967. Having been in the family for so long has preserved the traditions and experiences that make going to Half Moon such a special experience.
Instead of worrying about shaving pennies off the dollar to keep the camp running, Gretchen Mann-Fritch, the owner of Camp Half Moon, is constantly making improvements to the infrastructure and programs that her camp offers. Small camper to counselor ratios makes for quality instruction and guidance, allowing the campers to develop a higher level of independence in a safe and nurturing environment.
