Make new friends or sign up with a buddy and experientially learn to teach outdoor adventure activities such as rock climbing, mountain biking, canoeing, and high and low ropes facilitation. To make this action-packed week even more amazing you will be working on lifeguarding certifications. If you are 15 and over you can earn your Lifeguarding certifcation. Those who are 14 can earn CPR and First Aid. Throughout the week all participants will also receive our Morse Hill certifications in belaying, canoe and rock climbing safety and ropes course facilitation. For those who complete this course successfully, the next step is to apply to be a Counselor in Training for two weeks at Morse Hill. Come join us for a indepth, fun and rewarding week!
Requirements:
- This course is for those who want to become a Counselor-In-Training (CIT) for Morse Hill.
- Everyone must be able to swim 550 yards continuously at the start of the week, using front crawl and breaststroke in any order. Front crawl must have rhythmic breathing and breaststroke must have a pull, breathe, kick and glide sequence.

We ask that Counselors-in-Training who wish to return for a second year take a second year of AET.

Payment Policies
Please note that this coming year, you may not see credit card fees included in the base cost of camp, which is a change from previous years. We’re happy to process your credit card payment, but please be aware that there may be a convenience fee for paying with a credit card.
We are waiting to hear from our registration provider, CampDoc, about what it will all look like when registration opens. We will update as soon as we have the information from them.
We are trying to make Morse Hill accessible to more families, so we will use a sliding scale again this summer. In order to provide the best experience possible for campers and offer a fair wage to our staff, our sliding payment scale should more fairly distribute the cost of summer camp. All camps are listed at their base cost, with increases to the base cost based on self-attested income. We appreciate your understanding as we work to provide a more equitable model for our families and community.
We have included many coupons to help you save money, such as paying early, paying with a personal check, multi camp discounts and sibling discounts. We also offer scholarships to families on a need basis. To apply, please reach us at summer@morsehill.com and our office staff will assist you in the application process.
Lastly, we ask for a 1/3 deposit so you do not have to pay so much up front.
PAY BY CHECK TO AVOID CREDIT CARD FEES.
ADDITIONAL $13 OFF FOR PAYING IN FULL 2 MONTHS BEFORE CAMP STARTS, SIBLING CAMPER OR MULTI CAMPS.
