Camp Winadu
Pittsfield, MA

Staff members have the opportunity to work under and learn from extremely talented high school and college head coaches. In addition, staff members have the added pleasure of meeting other motivated college peers from all over the United States and the world. The season is Mid-June to Mid-August.

This opportunity is a great resumé builder for those majoring in education, physical education, child psychology, outdoor and recreation fields of study. Given the structure of our program, some schools have even accepted internship hours. Ask your advisor for more information.

Camp Winadu is located in the Berkshire Mountains of Western Massachusetts. The camp has wonderful facilities many of which are available to staff during time off. Evening basketball leagues take place in the Winadome and use of the free weights is available daily in our Strength and Conditioning Facility. Internet access is available in the Staff Lounge as well.

There are a variety of things to do on your time off. We are located just under 3 hours from both Boston and New York City. Staff members often enjoy exploring on their days off. Other common attractions include the Basketball Hall of Fame and Six Flags Amusement Park.

SUMMER CAMP INFORMATION:
Camp Winadu is a seven week summer sports camp for boys. Approximately 100 counselors live in the cabins with the campers. We also have an experienced administrative staff. The camp has a full office staff, kitchen and dining hall staff and infirmary staff consisting of five nurses and a doctor.

Our staff members come from all over the US and Canada, as well as from overseas countries, including Australia, New Zealand and England. Each staff member has completed at least one year of college. Many of these staff members are studying in an education or recreation related program in school. However, this is by no means a precondition for employment.

The camp is located in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, in the very western part of the state. We are approximately 2 1/2 hours by car to both New York City and Boston, MA. Other nearby attractions include the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, MA (1-1/2 hours away) and the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY (3 hours away). Staff have an opportunity to visit these places on one of their days off. Local rental car companies offer discounts to staff members and, by carpooling, staff can inexpensively enjoy all that our area has to offer.

Most of our campers are from the NY/NJ metropolitan area. Others travel to camp from Florida, California and even from as far away as the Dominican Republic. Campers come from a variety of families who are looking for a safe place for their son(s) to grow and learn, both as individuals and as athletes. Winadu provides them with a warm, nurturing environment that has a truly professional sports program.
