Camp Mac-Kee-Nac

In 1929 Joseph Kruger came to Berkshire County to start a camp for young boys, aged 6-16, that was based in educational practices. He leased Yokum Camp from Miss Mary E. Richardson, who had previously run a girls camp, and set out with Barney Koplin to develop his own camp. In 1934 a corporation known as Camp Mac-Kee-Nac was formed, land along the Stockbridge Bowl was purchased, and Mr. Kruger moved his camp from Richmond to Stockbridge creating Camp Mah-Kee-Nac.
