The Waterfront at Camp Lenox is one of the most loved parts of camp, and it’s easy to see why. Lenox sits 1,700 feet above sea level on a pristine freshwater lake called Shaw Pond, giving campers a true lakefront experience in the Berkshires. From calm mornings on the water to action-packed afternoons behind the ski boats, the Waterfront has something for every kind of camper.

The Waterfront program is supervised by the attentive eyes of JJ (James Johnston), our 42-year Waterfront Director. JJ personally cross-trains all waterfront staff and leads one of the most dynamic programs at camp. Campers are supported by a team that knows how to teach, how to supervise, and how to keep the lake feeling both exciting and safe.
A camper might arrive hesitant to swim in a lake, then leave feeling comfortable, capable, and proud. Others come in ready to chase a new challenge, and find it in skiing, wakeboarding, windsurfing, or sailing. Either way, the lake becomes part of their summer story.
