Where campers will call home for the week.
From cabins to campfires to the closing-night stage — this is where the week happens.
Questions parents ask us most.
From experience levels to allergies to refunds, here’s what families usually want to know before camp.
Still have questions?
Can’t find what you’re looking for? We’re happy to help — reach out and our team will get back to you as soon as possible.
My child has never played an instrument or used music software. Is that okay?
Yes — many BeatNest students start with zero experience. All your camper needs is an interest in music! There will be classes designed for beginner to advanced kids.
What's your refund policy if plans change?
Deposits are non-refundable, but the remaining balance is fully refundable up to 2 weeks before the session starts. After that, we’re happy to transfer a spot to a different week if one is available.
Do you accommodate allergies or dietary needs?
Yes — our registration form includes a health and allergy section, and our staff are briefed on every camper’s needs before the session begins.
Is there a sibling discount?
Yes — families enrolling more than one camper receive 10% off each additional camper, on top of any multi-week discount.
Who will be on staff during the week?
We will have an amazing lineup of carefully selected, background checked staff members for the week who will either be in the cabins with your camper, teaching workshops, or both! Many of our staff members are professional DJs and songwriters from all backgrounds, excited to teach and inspire your camper for the week!
Where exactly is camp? Is it safe?
Camp is going to be located at the ACA accredited Berkshire Lake Camp campsite in Hinsdale, MA. We are so thankful to be hosting camp in such a beautiful, safe location that is already equipped for hosting camp groups.
