GREAT NEWS!

- we added a 4th week

- EarlyBird Discount

(use EARLYBIRD15 at check-out under coupons) Valid until February 28th

- Sibling Discount available at checkout as well!

​For over 20 years, children have been exploring the grounds of Whittemore and enjoy all that it has to offer; forests, ponds (ohh the frogs), streams (ohh the crayfish), wildlife and so much more - as they make long-lasting friendships and memories.

Each week, campers will enjoy a wide range of nature based activities & challenges that foster the creative process.  Campers will be outside every day, rain or shine, exploring our 180-acre estate and drawing inspiration to create works of art from natural materials as well as nature based science & wilderness activities.  The experienced staff (1st aid & CPR trained) and the weekly surprise Special Guests (Botanists, Gardeners, Photographer, Artists, The Grand Fallons and others), will enhance their understanding of, and appreciation for, the beauty of the outdoors.​

COLLECTING TO LEARN

This week is all about collecting different types of nature that inhabit Whittemore's wildlife. Explore different natural collections each day; insects, rocks, leaves, flowers & photos. Campers will get to have fun discovering our natural world through games, catch & release,  observation and creating their very own collections.
