Oak Knoll Summer Camp 2023 **MULTIPLE CAMPS/MULTIPLE WEEKS | Kids Out and About Providence <

Oak Knoll Summer Camp 2023 **MULTIPLE CAMPS/MULTIPLE WEEKS


*The event has already taken place on this date: Fri, 08/18/2023
At Oak Knoll Summer Camp in Attleboro, campers ages 4.5–10 have fun, learn about nature, and make friends through outdoor exploration, hands-on activities, games, and art. At Oak Knoll Nature Camp, we believe it’s important that children learn and grow through their interactions with nature as well as with each other. We provide opportunities for structured free play, during which campers of various ages and developmental stages interact, learn important social skills, and gain appreciation for nature. We also believe in connecting people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities with nature to enhance quality of life and to spark an interest in preserving nature for future generations.

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

A Day at Camp

At Oak Knoll Nature Camp, no two days are alike! But this sample schedule gives an idea of activity types and flow. Camp programs are structured around fun, educational group goals that provide consistency throughout the session. Daily themes inspire curiosity as campers participate in age-appropriate activities, which might include nature and habitat exploration, crafts, games, and more.  

 

8:50–9:15 am

Camper Drop-off

Caregivers check their campers in with counselors at drop-off site each day. 

9:15–9:45 am

Camp Begins!

Each group goes to opening circle for the daily schedule, and games! On the first day, campers learn rules and expectations, camp site boundaries, and safety procedures from their counselors. 

9:45 am–12:00 pm

Morning Theme Exploration & Snack

Hands-on lessons, crafts, games, and nature walks are just a few ways campers explore the day’s theme. A break for snack keeps everyone energized. 

12:00–1:00 pm

Lunch & Choice Time

Lunch time! Campers reapply sunscreen and bug spray after lunch, and choose from several brief nature activities.

1:00–2:40 pm

Afternoon Theme Exploration

Campers continue to learn about the day’s theme. They may enjoy water games, animal visitors, and nature exploration. 

2:40–3:00 pm

Closing Circle

Counselors and campers reflect on the day and gather belongings, then head to Pick-up. 

3:00–3:15 pm

Camper Pick-Up

Caregivers bring IDs and sign their campers out as counselors say farewell.

Pricing & Affordability

Sliding Scale Pricing

Mass Audubon is committed to ensuring that every family that wants their child to experience summer camp should have the opportunity to do so. A sliding scale model helps us work toward that goal through an easy and dependable process for families.

Under the sliding scale model, every family will enroll for camp at a tuition rate based on their annual gross income. At registration, you will have the opportunity to select the pricing tier that best fits your family’s gross income. If you select Tiers 1–4, you will be asked to upload income verification documentation at a later time. Registrants at Tier 5 do not need to provide income verification. 

Financial Aid

If cost is still a barrier under the sliding scale structure, financial aid is also available based on demonstrated financial need and available funds. Scholarships are limited to one session per child; however, all applications are considered and will be accepted on a rolling basis. Payment plan options are also available. Download a financial aid application >

Member Discount

Mass Audubon members at the Family level or above receive a discounted rate. To qualify, your Mass Audubon membership must be current through the end of your camper’s last session, and you must be the parent, grandparent, or legal guardian of the camper being enrolled. Membership can be purchased or renewed at the time of registration. If you are unsure of your member status, please contact Mass Audubon Member Services.

Refund Policy

A full refund, minus the nonrefundable deposit, is provided to camp families who cancel in writing on or before May 15. After May 15, no refund is available. Deposits are not transferable, and refunds are not given for participant dismissal, failure to attend, absence, or sick days. If we must cancel a session, you will receive a full refund.

Deposit

A nonrefundable deposit of $50/camper/session is required to register for camp. The deposit will be applied to your camp tuition and cannot be transferred to another camper, family, or camp location. If registering after May 15, payment in full is required, unless a payment plan has been established with the Camp Director.
