For over 70 years, the non-profit Alice Rich Northrop Memorial Camp has given New York City girls and boys, whose families could not otherwise afford camp, the opportunity to learn about nature and the environment at a camp set in the Berkshires.

The camp is dedicated to the belief that teaching children to respect and appreciate all life, both the natural world around them and each other, produces adults who care about the environment and who succeed in the careers they choose. Northrop campers have gone on to productive careers such as camp directors and counselors, teachers, scientists, physicians, mathematicians, engineers, social workers, parents and many other honorable professions and endeavors.

Following a fire which damaged the facilities in 1993,
Northrop Camp is currently involved in a challenging rejuvenation program.
