2-Week Adventure Day Camp

 

 

In this two-week version of "Rattlesnake Day," campers will enjoy a greater variety of activities. With double the time, it’s double the fun! The list seems endless—rock climbing, mountain biking, canoeing, building and launching their own raft, exploring caves, creating environmental art, exploring streams, caving, completing scavenger hunts with compass skills, swimming, and of course undertaking the challenges on our extensive low and high ropes course. On the second Thursday, the oldest group of campers can spend the night at our enchanting Morse Hill campsite with a view of the Wendell hills.

 

Don't know how to bike? Our trained and patient staff will teach you to ride in a safe environment.

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.
