Camp Whitin – Whitin Community Center

Welcome to WCC's Camp Whitin!

Welcome campers! For over 25 years, WCC’s Camp Whitin has prided itself on providing fun, youth-oriented summer camps for children between the ages of 4-13 throughout the Blackstone Valley. Whether it is an activity, educational or sport camp, half-day or full day, every camper will enjoy an experience full of fun, fitness, and friendships! We believe WCC’s Camp Whitin distinguishes itself from other area camps in the quality of programming, the experience and enthusiasm of the counselors, and the wide variety of choices we offer. You will find classic camps like 5-D Dodgeball and Design, Build & Destroy, as well as new camps like this summer’s Mega Sports, Firefighter Camp, Robotics, Gym ‘N Swim, and Ocean Odyssey. Our gigantic waterslide and FREE pizza Friday will return again this year!

But what makes WCC’s Camp Whitin really great is YOU! Every summer we have the pleasure of hosting upwards of 400 campers who become part of the Whitin Community Center family. We are proud to have made a positive impact on thousands of local youths and love to hear stories of campers favorite camp memories. Whether you have been coming to WCC’s Camp Whitin for years or this is your first summer joining us, we welcome you. Looking forward to seeing you at camp!

Extended Care (Ages 7-13) For Full Day Camps ONLY

Extended Care is an addition to the FULL DAY Camp (Ages 7-13) and provides before and after camp care. Located in the Conference Room, drop off is available beginning at 6:30am, and the camper(s) can remain in this program until 6:00pm. Extended Care is NOT part of the camp day with regards to organized games and activities. Staff will be on site to monitor campers until they are picked up, however, be advised this is a camper driven program. Campers will have the choice of playing board games and card games, reading a book, watching a PG movie (friday afternoons only) or just relaxing with friends before or after camp. Staff will provide a safe, positive environment for your child and are always eager to join in a game but they will not be organizing a group activity. Campers staying after camp will also have the option of Open Recreation gym time on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Staff will bring campers to and from the gym and supervise them while they play.

Extended Care is for the full week for both morning and afternoon sessions and cannot be broken down by day or specific mornings or afternoons. Campers MUST be pre-registered for this program. Please be advised every non-registered camper that is picked up after 3:15pm will be taken to the Conference Room and a fee of $15 will be charged for late pickup. All sign outs will be conducted in the Conference Room.
