Summer camp horror: Kids find body while gathering wood, cops say

Kids at a sleep-away camp in the Berkshires discovered a man’s corpse as they collected wood for an upcoming “Rope Burn” contest, The Post has learned.

Massachusetts state police said the man’s body was discovered at about 3:30 p.m. Thursday in the woods behind Camp Lenox and Werden Road in Becket. “Four campers from the camp, all juveniles, located the remains and went back to the camp to report it to counselors, who called police,” Massachusetts State Police spokesman Dave Procopio told The Post in an email Friday.
