Beyond the foothills of the Berkshires
The Back 40 Social Club, or B40SC, is a membership-based organization created by camp alumni for camp alumni. Our goal is to broaden the network of, and strengthen the social ties between Camp Jewell Alumni — regardless of whether you were a camper in 1965 or 2026. The B40SC will plan social gatherings, connect friends across the country and the world, and hope to act as a key alumni resource. In everything that we, the B40SC, do, we lead with caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.

Hosting can be whatever you want it to be. Invite local alum to your favorite place in the city, have people over for a potluck, start a craft night, meet at a brewery, or more. It’s up to you! The B40SC is here to help with ideas and connecting you to others.
