Two Spots Left for Kid's Summer Sessions at Hancock Shaker Village

By Berkshires Macaroni Kid June 2, 2021

Spend a fun-filled and safe week at the vibrant farm and Village in Hancock!

Pitch in to help the farmers care for the animals and gardens during daily chores. You'll be in charge of the Village’s newly-hatched chicks!

Explore the Village on a daily hike. Wander the Farm and Forest Trail, explore a newly-opened part of the Village, walk to the reservoir, and more!

Craft to your heart’s content as you weave, dye fabric, make a basket, and work with wood.

Imagine life in the 1800s as you explore the Village’s hidden secrets—even a ghost story or two!

As much activity as possible will take place outdoors. In case of severe weather, HSV reserves the right to cancel the program for the day for everyone’s safety.

To make sure everyone stays safe, COVID practices, following current guidelines, will be as follows:

UPDATE May 29, 2021. As we review changing guidelines from the CDC and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, we anticipate that we will continue to require mask-wearing during certain activities, follow appropriate distancing procedures,  and maintain thorough hygiene and sanitation procedures. Program staff and guest instructors will follow the same procedures. As we learn more from our own experience as well as colleagues at similar institutions, we will continue to keep our camp community updated. Our most updated guidelines will be shared with campers and families at least one week in advance of the session start date.
