EXPLORER CAMPERS

Explorers are 5 through 13 years of age and attend camp for a full day of activities from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. During nature activities, they will enjoy the camaraderie of a small group of friends their own age. They will get to explore pond life, bird watching, visit animals at the Visitor Center, do arts and crafts, learn songs during our music activities, take daily hikes and learn about plants and so much more. Each week we will also have a special guest attend camp. An Explorer’s Day will be fun, exploring, discovering, and doing fascinating things throughout Capen Hill’s 86- acre sanctuary.

One Registration Form must be completed for each child attending camp. You may register by clicking here Registration Form for Camp 2024 or go to

Capen Hill Website . Extra Registration Forms are available at Capen Hill’s Visitor’s Center if you prefer a hard copy to send in or print hard copy below.
An Immunization Record must be filled out through your child’s physician’s office and returned to us or a current school copy is also acceptable. Immunization records must be received a week before camp starts unless we are notified. If filling out the registration form on line, you may also upload a copy of your child’s immunization record.

WHAT TO BRING

Explorers need to bring a drink, lunch and a snack in a labeled bag. Backpacks are fine because each Explorer will have a cubby. A water bottle is a must to refill at our water station. Bug spray and sun screen need to be applied at home and then put in their back pack if more is needed. Younger campers should keep it in a plastic bag labeled with their name.   The director can then help apply it as needed.

This is a nature camp. Most activities are outdoors though in very rainy weather campers are inside. Please dress the child accordingly. Sneakers and walking shoes are better than sandals.  On a cool day please have camper bring a jacket or sweatshirt. Hats are great too to keep the sun out of one’s face.

“This camp must comply with the regulations of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and be licensed by the local board of health.” Parents or guardians have the right to view background checks, health care, and discipline policies as well as procedures for filing a grievance. Contact the director at (508) 736-3974 by text or call. Email is barbhfrederick@gmail.com.
