Welcome, Staff!

Staff Overview

Not all summer camps are the same. For over 95 years, Camp Mah-Kee-Nac has been a leader in the camping world, earning the trust of more than 200 families each summer who send their children to us for up to seven weeks. They choose Mah-Kee-Nac because of our outstanding culture, strong community, and unwavering commitment to excellence. Central to our success is our focus on recruiting, training, and supporting an exceptional staff dedicated to making each summer extraordinary.

Located in the beautiful Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts, Mah-Kee-Nac is a private, seven-week camp for boys, ages 6 to 16. With over 300 campers, we tailor cabin groups, programs, and special activities to the needs and interests of each age group, while also bringing the entire camp together for exciting all-camp events. We take pride in our high-quality facilities and the incredible team we bring together each year.

Our staff share a genuine passion for working with children, creating a nurturing environment where campers can grow, build self-esteem, develop skills, and—most importantly—have fun. Staff members are required to have completed high school, submit strong references, and bring the enthusiasm and skills needed to instruct in one of our program areas.

Much More Than Just Another Summer Job…

Being a camp counselor at Mah-Kee-Nac is the experience of a lifetime. The personal growth, the joy of working with children, the thrill of our vibrant community, and the lifelong friendships you build will stay with you long after summer ends. Working at camp will make you a better person, and you’ll carry that impact with you wherever you go.
