Youth Day Camp Overview:

About Youth Day Camps: Hunt Hill is a nature sanctuary and learning center dedicated to

fostering understanding, appreciation, and protection of the environment. The goal of our Day

Camp program is to encourage youth to get out and enjoy nature.

Day Camps begin at 8:30 am and end at 4:00 pm, with the option to stay for After-Camp Camp

from 4:00 to 5:30 pm. Each day of camp has a different theme, which guides the activities for

that day. Throughout the day, campers participate in different hands-on nature activities, games,

swimming, and crafts led by a team of well-trained staff.

Weather: Campers can expect to spend the whole day of camp outside every day, rain or shine.

Please set your camper up for success by ensuring they have gear appropriate for the weather

such as warm clothes, rain jackets, and sun screen. If the weather becomes unsafe, we will move

indoors and continue activities there.

Safety: To ensure your child has a safe and fun time at camp, all of our staff participate in First

Aid, CPR, AED, Epi-Pen, and Blood Borne Pathogens Training. Certified Lifeguards supervise

all swimming and boating activities and all campers are required to pass a swimming test in

order to swim in water over their heads. Our summer educators are also trained to recognize and

help prevent child abuse.

Discipline: We expect our campers to follow the main rule of camp: Respect. We ask campers to

show respect for people, nature, and property. To ensure the enjoyment and safety of all

campers, Hunt Hill reserves the right to dismiss campers in the unlikely event there are discipline

issues. Parents or guardians will be contacted by phone to arrange child pick up. No refund will
