Camp Greylock

What Camp Greylock does

Camp Greylock is a traditional residential boys' sleepaway summer camp founded circa 1916 and currently operated on a nearly 300-acre lakefront campus on Center Lake in Becket, in the Berkshire Mountains of Western Massachusetts. The camp serves approximately 350 boys per summer, ages 6 to 16, split equally between junior and senior divisions, offering a structured multi-week program of land sports, water sports, outdoor adventure, arts, and theater. Core activities include basketball (9 courts), tennis (15 clay courts, including the country's oldest camp invitational tournament dating to 1952), baseball, soccer, flag football, swimming, sailing, waterskiing, hiking, drama, and adventure facilities such as a climbing wall, zip line, and ropes course. The property also includes a 22,000 square foot indoor field house described as the largest of any residential sports camp.

The business generates revenue primarily through session-based tuition: Summer 2026 pricing is $16,550 for a 7-week session, $13,500 for 5 weeks, and $11,200 for 4 weeks, with over 95% of campers attending the full season. Ancillary revenue streams include a required clothing partnership with The Camp Spot (official clothier), tuition insurance facilitated through Travmark, baggage logistics via R&B Camp Baggage, the annual Father-Son/Family Camp Weekend (36th running in 2026), and a pre-season Spring Get Together at Dave & Buster's in Pelham Manor, NY. The camp has no proprietary technology product; it uses third-party SaaS platforms (Camp In Touch for enrollment, Bunk1 for parent-camper communication) and outsources food service to Sodexo.

Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer through the camp website, online enrollment portal, in-person Rookie Days and private tours, and a strong multi-generational alumni referral network. The camp is accredited by the American Camping Association, licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) and Local Board of Health (LBOH), and is a member of the Berkshire Summer Camp Association. Co-owned and operated by directors Michael Marcus and Lukas Horn since 1994-1995, the business maintains a winter office in New York City and sister-camp relationships with Camp Belvoir Terrace (owned by Marcus's wife) and Camp Romaca for co-ed social programming. Headcount is reported at 51-100 year-round corporate staff with approximately 250 seasonal staff per summer.

Revenue model

1. Summer Camp Tuition: Primary revenue is generated from seasonal session tuition for boys ages 6 to 16 attending the residential sleepaway camp. Tuition tiers exist for 7-week, 5-week, and 4-week session lengths. Over 95% of campers attend the full season.
2. Camp Clothing & Apparel (The Camp Spot): Greylock partners with The Camp Spot as its official clothier, which sells Greylock-branded shirts, shorts, sweatshirts, jackets, and other items. Campers are required to purchase certain items. This generates ancillary revenue for the camp's ecosystem though it flows primarily through the third-party clothier.
3. Camp Tuition Insurance (Travmark): The camp offers families the opportunity to purchase camp tuition insurance through Travmark, which provides coverage for illness, incapacity, cancellation, job termination, medical expenses, emergency evacuation, and baggage. This is an optional ancillary revenue stream facilitated by the camp.
