What do kids do at camp?

A session at camp starts on Monday morning. For those parents who cannot travel to New Braintree, we provide bus service from Lincoln Plaza on the first day of each session. Check in at Lincoln Plaza is at 8:30 a.m., with the bus leaving for Camp at 9:00. Check in at Camp is at 9:30 a.m. Camp ends on Saturday morning with bus drop off at Lincoln Plaza around 9:30 a.m. or pick up at Camp at 9:10 a.m. 

Once the kids arrive at camp the fun begins! Each day is filled with activities from morning to night. During a typical day at camp your child will experience staff guided activities such as: arts & crafts, boating and canoeing, swimming, pond life, nature crafts, sports & games, CREATE (an area of drama, music and art), biking & hiking, free time, and  all camp evening activities.

Our historic 1830s camp dining hall serves three nutritious meals each day: breakfast at 8:00 a.m.; lunch at 12:15 p.m. and supper at 5:30 p.m. We also provide kids with an evening snack before lights out.
