Camp

For more than 40 years, fields, forests, ponds, and mountains have served as the backdrop for the Harris Center’s summer programs, which offer outdoor explorations for kids in pre-school through 10th grade. Harris Center summer campers hike, play, climb, canoe, camp, paint, build, sing, and learn alongside skilled naturalists.

In 2026, summer camp is July 13 to 17 and 2o to 24, with a special leadership camp for 8th through 10th graders on June 29 to July 2. Registration opens at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, March 3. Summer camp fills quickly, so registering the morning of March 3 is highly recommended. You can view the full summer camp brochure here.

Camp scholarships are also offered. (Please contact Miles Stahmann for an application.) Before Care is available from 8:30 to 9 a.m. Tuesday-Friday for $5 per day per child. After Care is available from 3 to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday for $15 per day per child.

Learn the fundamentals of winter survival with the Harris Center! We’ll guide beginners through essential winter skills, including fire building, water collecting, and crucial first aid — then put our knowledge to the test with a big hike up Mount Skatutakee. Bring your enthusiasm for the outdoors, and we’ll handle the rest.

In 2026, this three-day Wilderness Survival camp for kids ages 10 to 14 will take place from Monday, February 23 to Wednesday, February 25 at the Harris Center. Registration for this camp opens at 9 a.m. on January 2.
