The Advanced Camper Program for 12-15 year olds will consist
of two parts:
Advanced Camper Orientation/Training: June
30th - July 3rd
This session will include an introduction to the “Camp Putnam
Way”, an opportunity for Advanced Campers to get to know each other
and the staff, as well as many forms of training. Campers will be exposed to
Teambuilding/Trust-building, CPR and First Aid, Crisis
Intervention/De-escalation, Creative Gamesmanship, effective
leadership techniques and other life-skill programs. This week will
provide campers with an intensive course in the skills we believe
are necessary to be successful at Camp and in life. There will also
be lots of time for creating new friendships or renewing old ones.
And, of course there will be tons of Old-Fashioned Camp Putnam fun
thrown in!
All Advanced Camper participants who meet the expectations
of the staff will be invited back for a full week of Camp later in
the summer.
This week will combine fun age-appropriate activities with an
opportunity to get a taste of what working at Camp is like. Advanced
Campers will have the opportunity to help out as “Junior Counselors”
with younger campers or as junior members of our kitchen crew,
maintenance staff or other areas of Camp. Participating Advanced
Campers will return to Camp either August 6th to 11th (run in
conjunction with our Day Camp) or August 13th to 18th (run in
conjunction with a week for 10 to 12 year-old campers). Advanced
Campers may not choose which week they want to return for; they will
be assigned a week by the Camp Director. Decision will be based upon
available space and determination of which age group each
participant would be best suited to working with.
Day Camp for Local Area Kids: Ages 6-11: August 4 –
8
(Mon. – Friday 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. )

life. Campers arrive at 7:30 each morning and depart at 5:30 each
night. While with us the experience all the magic that is Camp
Putnam, in an abbreviated program. Both breakfast and lunch are
provided. **No transportation provided
