Continuing the dream of Charlotte Perry and Portia Mansfield…
Charlotte and Portia’s vision was to have a place that encourages experimentation and risk-taking in a breathtaking setting that brings students closer to nature and their artistic and personal dreams. We continue to honor that vision and legacy today through all our programs at Perry-Mansfield. We provide superior arts training in body, heart, and mind. We promote creativity, a sense of close association of the arts, and a way of life close to nature. Our programs impact the entire person and affect the rest of their lives. As one camper’s parent wrote us;
“I cannot thank you enough for the experiences my daughter had over the last four weeks. I believe the most touching comment she made to me was…’I like myself so much here. I’m so much more outgoing.’ Thank you all for the opportunity for her confidence-building experience. Keep up the good work! You do change the lives of the young people that attend your camp.”

Join the Helen Smith Society
There was never a hair out of place on Helen Smith from her white gloves to her pillbox hats. She met Charlotte Perry at Smith College. She and Charlotte were best friends. She was the only one who could help Charlotte and Portia see the other person’s side and made all people feel important and heard. Her ability to moderate situations became a critical element in helping camp run smoothly. She was the dash between Portia and Charlotte, the glue that held camp together.
The Helen Smith Society honors her legacy by naming our monthly giving society in her name. This recognizes that monthly givers are the “glue” that ensures the ongoing success of Perry-Mansfield.
Donors who choose to support Perry-Mansfield with a monthly contribution receive certain benefits based on their monthly giving level.
