NEW Location!

On the shores of Lake Buel at the foot of Eastern Mountain State Forest in the Berkshires, the WELS Labor Day Retreat 2011 will be located at Kutsher's Sports Academy.

Just a hop away from the charming town of Great Barrington, Massachusetts, we are thrilled to invite you to a new location with state of the art facilities, gorgeous scenery, pool and a 240-acre lake, a 15,000 square foot main lodge, a heated dining area with catered meals, cozy cabins, new bunks, and brand new recreational courts and fields. The Appalachian Trail runs right past the camp, too! Scroll down for a sneak-preview of our beautiful new Retreat.


Welcome to the 2011 WELS Labor Day Retreat!


A lovely gazebo greets you at the entrance.


Flowers bloom around the pergola. 


See a 360-view of the Commons area in the camp.


Two views of the pristine basketball courts, perfect for pick-up or a 3-on-3 tourney!
Are you bringing your game to the Retreat? 


Gather with friends at the picnic tables and watch all the fun. 


Looking through the trees at the Driving Range and the Berkshires beyond. 


Swing in the shade on the 200-yard Driving Range.


Catch a game of soccer, or chat with a cup of cocoa. 


Our meals will be served in the Great Hall.
(Did someone say s'mores? Check out that fireplace!)

Cool and refreshing, the lake can't be beat!

With two docks and a marked swimming area that goes to 9-feet deep, everyone can jump in. 


Hike the Appalachian Trail!
