Opportunities For Older Boys
Becket offers specialty programs for older campers, such as the Construction cabins, for boys interested in carpentry and building skills, and the Adventure Odyssey cabin, for boys interested in rock climbing, bouldering, and backwoods, low-impact camping. In the Construction Cabin, the boys are supervised by an experienced foreman, as well as their counselors. One new structure is completed each season, currently new camper cabins in Pioneer village. The Adventure Odyssey is a new program as of summer 2009. It blends sport climbing using a ropes course, climbing tower, various top-roped chimneys on the property, and off-site climbing locations, with off-site camping and hiking. Campers spend four weeks living both outdoors and in a Ranger cabin. The focus of this program is group building and leave-no-trace camping techniques.

We are the sons of flint and pitch.
O see the poles are kissing as they cross.”
