We are excited to welcome new and returning kids for summer nature camp! Our goal is to send campers home content, tired, probably dirty and definitely nature centered! Our eleven weeks of camp each have a different natural history theme that helps focus the fun and key the interest of the campers. We also have Specialty Camps that expand on the week’s theme and Collaborative Camps that connect with other organizations in Mystic.

Each day you’ll drop off and pick up your campers at the Nature Center on 109 Pequotsepos Road.

Monday mornings, the first day of the camp week, will begin under the front porch at your check-in time. Then, from Tuesday through Friday, parents will check campers in at their designated home base, where counselors will greet you.

Camp drop-off and pick-up times are assigned according to the camper’s last name, staggered between 8:30am – 9am in the morning and  3:30pm – 4pm in the afternoon.

If you need to request an adjusted drop-off or pick-up time, please contact Camp Director Jess Morris at [email protected] or speak to a counselor.

• Last names A-H: 8:30 am – 3:30 pm
• Last names I-Q: 8:45 am – 3:45 pm
• Last names R-Z: 9 am – 4 pm

The camp day ends by 4 pm each day. If you need an extended day of activities and care for your child in summer, we invite you to learn more about our Neighbors & Nature program, which provides care between 7 am and 6 pm Monday through Friday in summer, as well as before school and after school during the school year.
