THE PROGRAMS
We offer 1/2 day camps for
our younger campers, ages 3 through Grade 2, and 1/2 or
full day options for campers entering grades 3 through 6.
See our
camp brochure
for more information.
Additionally, we are quite proud of our middle & early high
school programs...
For middle
school: Explorers
Campers entering grades
6-8 are invited to join these sessions for hiking, canoeing,
team-building, a field trip and an overnight camping trip!
For early
high school: Expedition
Our oldest campers
(entering grades 8 & 9) can look forward to our most
involved programs. The Expedition week begins with two
days of nature studies, canoeing and team-building
at the
Science Center. Then the Cape Cod Expedition portion
brings them to Nickerson State Park Campground. From this new 'home base' the group will bike to
tide pools,
saltwater marshes, and beaches.

Our Senior
Counselors are college educated men and women who have experience
working with children. Each has attended on-site training, has been certified in First Aid and
Community CPR, and undergone a CORI & SORI check. All share a genuine enthusiasm for children and
nature.
We maintain a ratio of one Counselor
to
every 5 campers under the age of seven, in
accordance with MA state law. For campers age seven and up, we
exceed the state requirements (1:10) by maintaining a ration of 1
counselor for every 6 campers. Each group of campers is led by
a Senior Counselor who is a college graduate or student, and a
Junior Counselor who must be at least fifteen years old.
