The Mini Mak 2 Week Sleepaway Camp Experience

Exclusively for new boys entering 1st through 5th grade, our Mini Mak’ers are fully integrated into our Junior Camp. Under the supervision of our most experienced staff, boys will live in cabins on Junior Camp and participate in all camp activities, specialized instruction, and high-energy special events.

If a camper finds they aren’t ready to leave, the option to extend their stay and transition into the full session is available and encouraged!

Why a Two Week Sleepaway Camp Experience?

Mini-Mak is designed to give younger campers the full Mah-Kee-Nac experience in a two week sleepaway camp session that feels exciting, supportive, and just the right length for a first time away from home. For many boys, it’s the perfect introduction to sleepaway camp and the start of a lifelong connection to Mah-Kee-Nac.

From the moment campers arrive, they jump right into the rhythm of camp life. Days are filled with swimming in the lake, playing sports, trying new activities, and discovering what they love most about camp. Whether it’s scoring their first goal on the soccer field, climbing the ropes course, paddling across the lake, or creating something in the arts, Mini-Mak campers experience the same energy, traditions, and spirit that define Mah-Kee-Nac.

Just as important as the activities is the community. As a two week sleepaway camp in the Berkshires, Mini-Mak is thoughtfully designed for boys who may be away from home for the first time. Our staff creates an environment where every camper feels supported, encouraged, and part of the group. Through shared experiences, cabin life, and classic evening programs, boys quickly gain confidence, independence, and friendships that often last far beyond the two weeks.

By the end of this two week sleepaway camp experience, campers leave with new skills, great memories, and the feeling that Mah-Kee-Nac is truly their summer home. For many, it’s the beginning of a journey that continues for years to come. At Mah-Kee-Nac, summers aren’t just fun—they’re extraordinary.
