We have openings in many weeks of summer camp, and have just added a new week to the end of the summer.

Pre-K and K camps are three hours a day; Grades 1-7 run from 9:30-2:30. We have a “lunch bunch” option for our half day campers, which extends their day by one hour.

Please remember we go by the year your child just completed, NOT the year your child will be in the fall.

OPENINGS:

Pre-K: July 13-17 (1-4) ; August 3-7 (1-4); August 17-21 (9-12)

K: August 3-6 (1-4); August 17-21 (9-12)

Grade 1/2: June 22-26; August 3-7; August 17-21

Grade 2/3: June 22-26; July 6-10; July 20-24;

Grade 4/5: July 13-17; July 20-24; August 10-14

Grade 6/7: July 20-24; August 10-14

We hope to see you and your child for a summer of ADVENTURE at Woodcock Nature Center!

Please click this link to see the schedule. The registration form can be viewed by this link.  Everything can be viewed if you go to Summer Camps, under “Programs” from the top of the home page.

You can bring forms to our offices between 9:30-4, Monday - Friday. Mail in your forms at any time!

Remember: children must be four years old by June 1, 2009 to be campers. We go by the grade the child is CURRENTLY in rather than the grade that the child will be starting in the fall. Children in Pre-K / K blended classes should sign up for pre-K camp.

Membership is also required. If your child went to camp last summer, chances are your membership is up for renewal. Family membership costs $50, is good for a year and entitles you to discounts on many of our events.

Join us in exploring our beautiful 149-acre preserve through hands-on activities that bring your child closer to our local wildlife. Some weeks even have a Friday night campout option for campers and their parents to set up tents, roast some marshmallows, and enjoy all the wonders a star-filled Woodcock night has to offer!  We even prepare you breakfast the next morning! Campouts are cancelled if there is a strong threat of rain.

Junior Naturalists

For our Pre-K to 2nd grade campers, we offer our wildly popular traditional day camp, where each day promises a different nature theme.  From Ssslithering Snakes to Digging for Dinosaurs to Native American Games, each day is filled with live animals, arts and crafts, hikes, games, and other age specific activities focusing on the theme of the day. Pre-K and Kindergarten students have the choice of AM or PM camps, while first and second graders will come to Woodcock for a full day.

Adventure Camp - NEW! We are now offering camp for those currently in 7th grade

Especially for our 2nd to 7th grade campers!  Geared to our older campers, they’ll enjoy a full day of canoeing, tracking, geology study, shelter building, animal handling, geocaching, hiking, games, and more! Look for the canoe in the schedule.

Our camp is staffed by professional naturalists and college students. The ratio of staff to campers is 5 to 1 or better, and the maximum number of campers per group is 16.

Please note: We will not accept registration over the phone, nor will we accept your credit card.

In addition, the gutters frequently become blocked by leaves; in addition to cleaning them out, we need a helpful handyperson to fix/finish/re-route them to help prevent future build-up. The blockage has resulted in water going where it shouldn’t and making a trench  / huge puddle right where we need to walk.
