The Becket-Chimney Corners YMCA is an overnight day camp in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts. There are three camps - Camp Becket for boys (est.1902), Chimney Corners Camp for girls (est.1931), and Becket Day Camp (est. 1991). The cabins do not have electricity, and each camper area (villages for Camp Becket and units for Chimney Corners Camp) has a communal bathroom where kids shower and brush their teeth. In addition to group activities and team-building, campers engage in numerous individual activities, including sports, arts and crafts, drama, boating, ball and team games and nature activities. During the off-seasons, there are work weekends, during which alumni, staff, and kids participate in work activities, such as wood chip spreading or fixing roofs. An alumni weekend provides an opportunity for alumni to reconnect. All of these events are hosted at Chimney Corners Camp because of the heated and insulated cabins. Camp Becket has recently constructed a new dining hall.

Sherwood Forest is an area within the town of Becket, Massachusetts. Originally established as a vacation community in the 1960s, the Sherwood Forest Road Maintenance District was established in 1982 with the approval of the Massachusetts State Senate and signed into existence by Governor of Massachusetts Edward J. King. The Sherwood Forest Lake District was established in 2010 to take over maintenance of the community's three lakes and their associated dams. Through agreement between the town and Sherwood Forest Enterprises, the real estate development company that created the area, the town of Becket is not responsible for things such as asphalt road maintenance and snow removal.
