Camp Whitin

Camp Whitin full day camps are co-ed camps for children ages 7-13 where children can play sports or participate in activities both fun and educational. All full day camps have a camper/counselor ratio of 10:1 as required by the Northbridge Board of Health. Full day camps are held from 9:00am-3:00pm, Monday-Friday. We offer extended care before and after camp for an additional fee. Depending upon the camp, children will be outside in our 7.5 acre Whitin Park or Pavilion(next to WCC) unless weather causes us to be in our gymnasium, or our activity rooms. Full Day campers (ages 7-13) also have the opportunity to swim in our Competition Pool daily.

We will share our plan for meeting all requirements related to social distancing, hygiene protocols, staffing and operations, and cleaning and disinfecting prior to the start of camp. It will cover all requirements set forth by the Health and Safety Working Group which can be found on www.mass.gov/reopening.

WCC’s Camp Whitin Mini Full Day camps are co-ed camps for children ages 4-6 where children can play sports or do various activities. All Mini camps have a camper/counselor ratio of 5:1 as required by the Northbridge Board of Health. Full Day camps are held from 9:00am-3:00pm, Monday-Friday. Depending upon the camp, children will be outside in our 7.5 acre Whitin Park or Pavilion (next to WCC) unless weather causes us to be in our gymnasium, or our activity rooms. There is no extended camp care or swim available for Mini camps.

Extended Care is an addition to the FULL DAY Camp (Ages 7-13) and provides before and after camp care. Located outside, drop off is available beginning at 6:30am, and the camper(s) can remain in this program up to 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  games, reading a book, 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.

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 Extended Care and a fee of $15 will be charged for late pickup. All sign outs will be conducted outside in Whitin Park.
