Traditional Camps
Our Traditional camp programs offer a broad-based, co-ed, age-appropriate and fun experience for children in pre-school to completing grade six.
Traditional Camp participants will receive daily instructional and recreational swims and take part in small group activities with their counselors. Activities that campers participate in will depend on their age and camp program. Scheduled lengths of time of activities will also differ based on camper age.

The perfect introduction to camp! This program has a half day (9:00-1:00) and full day (9:00-4:00) option. With a staff ratio of 1:5 these young campers get a great introduction to the camp experience. Chipmunks will have daily swim, play group games and participate in a traditional camp activity each morning. Traditional camp activities will include arts and crafts, music, sports, and nature. Campers who stay for a full day will have rest time following lunch and the afternoon schedule consists of more great games, crafts, and outdoor adventures with our fantastic staff. Parents must provide their own transportation for this program as busing is not available for this age group. Extended care is available in Hopkinton only. Chipmunks should be potty trained.

Discovery Camp is based on a variety of different environmental and outdoor themes. Campers are divided into age specific group and will be instructed in areas appropriate to their age. Each session is packed with great activities, projects and games designed to give campers insight and appreciation for nature, the environment, and other aspects of science as well as the opportunity to participate in some traditional camp activities. There is no better venue for this program then our 116 acres complete with wetlands, forest, nesting areas, and nature trails. We also house species of special status, both forest and wildlife. A field trip is included with this program and an optional overnight is available for campers who have completed grades 2-6.
Specialty Camps
Specialty Camps are designed to give campers a specialized experience in their area of choosing.
