Broad Meadow Brook Day Camp does not have upcoming sessions on ActivityHero right now. We can send you an email when they do.
Broad Meadow Brook Nature Day Camp offers campers a chance to tap into their natural curiosity and learn about the world around them through hands-on outdoor exploration! Campers investigate different habitats and ecosystems and learn how to identify a variety of wildlife species at the sanctuary. Camp fun includes interactive play, noncompetitive games, songs, and stories. Three-day, one-week, and two-week sessions have campers ages 4.5–16 exploring trails, discovering nature, and venturing to new places. Most of our day is spent outside exploring our surroundings and getting dirty. All camp programming supports the Massachusetts Science Standards.
Our dedicated and knowledgeable staff comprises skilled professionals (teachers and naturalists), college students, and high school students age 16 and older. This specialized team works to foster a sense of community among campers and build connections with nature.
Counselors are carefully selected based on their maturity, enthusiasm, teaching experience, natural history knowledge, and deep commitment to engaging campers with nature. All undergo background and reference checks, are CPR- and First Aid-certified, and attend a two-week training program prior to the start of camp.
