Whaleback Summer Camp at a glance
Whaleback’s public camp copy describes a summer day camp for kids ages 5 to 10 built around independence, friendship, discovery, and fun. The current camp description emphasizes outdoor play, nature exploration, creativity, and confidence-building rather than a hyper-structured sports camp.
What a typical camp week includes
The public camp pages highlight:
- daily nature exploration walks and wilderness education
- fort building, fairy-house making, and other imaginative outdoor activities
- arts and crafts
- group games and a weekly talent show
- water play on Wednesdays
- professionally trained staff with a 1:8 staff-to-child ratio
Daily rhythm
The most detailed public camp copy says:
- drop-off begins at 8:00 AM
- camp programming runs through the afternoon
- pickup should happen by 4:30 PM
- morning and afternoon snacks plus bottled water are provided
- lunch is provided on Fridays, while campers should bring lunch Monday through Thursday
Important note about dates
Camp dates change every year. Older public pages listed four 2024 camp weeks across June, July, and August, but that should be treated as historical reference, not current registration guidance. Use the Calendar and current registration links before making plans.
Financial aid
Whaleback’s public pages say financial aid is available for camp. The financial-aid contact currently listed on the site is whalebackfinancialaid@gmail.com. Start with Financial Aid if cost is the thing in the way.
