Your perfect summer day happens at Whippoorwill Farm Day Camp, a 50-acre farm where campers explore creeks, wooded hills, fields, and the diverse wildlife of Whippoorwill Farm. The camp, in its 37th season, encourages campers to experience the wonders of nature and to discover individual differences and the importance of cooperation. Most of all, though, we have fun!

The Four Camps

Whippoorwill is made up of four camps, with special activities for each group.

Bear Cubs: Campers who have completed Kindergarten and are entering first grade enjoy exploring the farm or playing in a log cabin by the creek. Counselors help campers choose activities which are specially crafted for this age group.
Log Cabin Camp: Campers who are entering 2nd or 3rd grade and are 7-8 years old make choices to create their special day. Activities like kayaking, rappelling, and craft activities happen four times during the day.
Indian Teepee Camp: Campers 9-12 years old (grade 4-6) have fun choosing adventurous activities each morning and afternoon. Activities may include tree-climbing, woodworking, and pottery.
Teepee Elders Camp: Campers 13-14 years old (grade 7-8) have a challenging program where they build a model campsite and learn outdoor skills.

Health and Safety

Whippoorwill makes every effort to ensure campers' health and safety. Campers need to have a current medical history filled out by the parent and current immunizations, especially for tetanus. If medications are needed, a medications form and policy will be sent with your confirmation. The Camp employs a full-time registered nurse and has a camp health center. All waterfronts are supervised by certified lifeguards.

Policy Regarding Contacting Parents
Every attempt will be made to contact parents if a child's illness or injury warrants monitoring or further treatment.
