Campers and Parents:
A
Lifetime of Memories starts here!! Nestled in 116
beautiful acres in Hopkinton, our summer day camp is the
perfect setting for wonderful summer memories. Our highly
motivated staff enjoys sharing their enthusiasm of day
camping experiences with your child or teen.
All
of our programs are designed to help children ages 2.9 to
15 develop a sense of self-worth, social skills and to
explore in a sage, healthy and supportive environment. We
offer traditional, specialty, and teen camp programs.
Traditional camp activities include archery, arts and
crafts, canoeing and kayaking, drama, low and high
challenge course, outdoor skills, music, nature, sports
and more. In addition we also offer a traditional Sports
Camp where campers learn skills, drills and game play of a
variety of sports and a Discovery Camp where exploration
is endless in learning about science and nature. All
traditional camp program participants will receive swim
lessons and recreational swim daily.
Specialty camps focus on the sport or activity of the camp
for the entire day and include recreational swimming.
Specialty camps for 2009 are Circus Arts Camp, Drama
Camp, Gymnastics Camp, Robotics Camp, MLS Soccer Camp,
Fort Building Camp and Engineering with LEGOS.
Teen
and Leadership programs encourage the acceptance of
responsibility in those young men and women who are ready
to begin the transition from camper to leaders and future
staff members. Programs include Adventure Plus (Completed
grades 7-8), On the Road Camp (Completed grades 7-9) and
Pioneer Trip Camp (Completed grades 7-9). We also have a
Counselor-In-Training (CIT) program for teens that have
completed grade 9 and 10. This is a volunteer program
that participants must apply for and be accepted in to.
Morning and afternoon extended care programs are available
at camp and at our Framingham Branch. Busing is also
available as our bus routes service the towns of Ashland,
Framingham, Holliston, Hopkinton, Marlboro, Medway,
Milford, Millis, Natick, Sherborn, Southboro and
Sudbury.
We
will be holding several Camp Information sessions
throughout the winter and spring. Dates, time and
locations are as follows:
January 28, February 11, and March 18, 7:00pm in the Annex
building at camp in Hopkinton.
