ABOUT CAMP
Every day is an adventure at Moose Hill Camp! Campers ages 3 to 16 have fun, learn about

Each day of is a blend of outdoor and indoor activities designed to encourage your preschooler’s curiosity and increase
sensory awareness. Peepers’ circle time encourages listening,
learning, and sharing; crafts help develop fine motor skills;
nature walks enhance awareness; and outdoor nature play
strengthens the body.
This program connects children with nature and encourages
FUN through a blend of outdoor explorations, focused learning
activities, games, and creative crafts. Motivated instructor-counselors keep campers engaged and moving as they learn about
life and science! Everyone enjoys the same weekly theme, but
the science learning objectives and activities differ for each age
group.
Each week has a different theme that helps children learn to
categorize and to compare living things. Preschool toys are
provided in both outdoor and indoor classroom spaces, helping young campers transition from home to camp. Half-day
Peepers leave before lunch, while full-day Peepers enjoy lunch
and return to the classroom for rest time, story time, and
supervised play in the pine forest.
Children must be potty trained and at least 3 years old before
the start of camp. Preschoolers prefer routine and are happier when they attend more than one week. Lead Teacher Patti
Austin has over 20 years of teaching experience, and loves
working with preschoolers.

birds, Mass Audubon is now one of the
largest and most prominent conservation
organizations in New England. Today we
are respected for our sound science,
successful advocacy, and innovative
approaches to connecting people and
nature. Each year, our statewide network

Hill have been, without fail, some of the coolest kids I’ve ever had the
privilege to be with.” —Rachel, counselor and past camper
