For more than 20 years, children have been discovering the magic of Whittemore - exploring forests and fields, splashing near ponds (oh, the frogs!), wading through streams (hello, crayfish!), and encountering wildlife at every turn. Along the way, they build confidence, form lasting friendships, and create memories that stay with them long after summer ends.
Each week, campers take part in a wide range of hands-on, nature-based activities and creative challenges designed to spark curiosity and imagination. Campers are outdoors every day, rain or shine, roaming our 180-acre estate and drawing inspiration from the natural world to create art from found materials, explore nature-based science, and engage in wilderness skills and discovery.
Our experienced staff are First Aid and CPR certified, ensuring a safe and supportive environment. Weekly surprise Special Guests - including botanists, gardeners, photographers, artists, the circus, and more - enrich the program and deepen campers’ understanding of, and appreciation for, the natural world.
