Summer PROGRAMS

Hampshire College is located on an 800-acre campus of

orchards, farmland, and forest in Amherst, Massachusetts, a lively, quaint

college town located within the historic Pioneer Valley. The Pioneer Valley

is known for its natural beauty, progressive thought, and vibrant arts

scene. There are dozens of bookstores, a wide variety of restaurants, a

cutting edge music scene, and world-class entertainment, as well as year-

round recreational opportunities.

The Event Services and Summer Programs Office strives to present a

peaceful and tranquil, yet professional, setting for conferences, camps,

retreats, workshops, and social events ranging from a dozen to 600

people. June–mid August sleeping quarters can be arranged for your

guests in our dormitories and apartments, and a full meal plan in addition

to gourmet catering options can be coordinated with ease. We provide

exceptional customer service with one-stop planning services for simple to

intricate events.

We offer many places on campus in which meetings and activities can be

held throughout your stay. Hampshire’s five academic buildings provide a

variety of meeting facilities: seminar rooms and classrooms suitable for

up to 35 people; lecture halls accommodating up to 200; dance studios;

music rooms; theatre space; and a recital hall. Throughout campus, there

are twenty-five breakout rooms available. We also have several unique,

non-traditional spaces to offer for meetings, gatherings, and brainstorming

sessions such as an outdoor pavilion, two living rooms, a tavern, and our

rustic Red Barn.
