2010 Dates and Locations

July 28 – August 7 (concurrent sessions)

Camp Start-Up for Girls, Wilbraham & Monson Academy, Wilbraham, MA
Camp Start-Up for Boys, Wilbraham & Monson Academy, Wilbraham, MA

Founded originally in early 1804, Wilbraham & Monson Academy, a private secondary school located just east of the beautiful Berkshire Mountains, offers campers a quintessential New England setting. Today, the Academy offers a recently installed state-of-the-art stock trading floor on which campers will experience what it’s really like to trade stocks. Campers will live in campus residence halls, dine in the campus dining hall, and swim in the Academy’s 25 meter indoor swimming pool. Campers will also have an afternoon of shopping and sightseeing in nearby Northampton, home to Smith College and renowned for its vibrant downtown.

For Wilbraham and Monson Academy campers, we suggest Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, CT. It’s about 45 minutes from campus and a Camp Start-Up staff member will meet campers at the airport. More about getting to Wilbraham and Monson Academy here or about accommodations.
