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 middle school. Harris Center summer campers hike, play, climb, canoe, camp, paint, build, sing, and learn alongside skilled naturalists. Scholarships are available.

In 2025, our summer camps will take place during the last week of June and the weeks of July 14 and 21. You can read about our full range of summer camp offerings in the 2025 camp brochure. Registration opens at 9 a.m. on March 3.

Join Harris Center teacher-naturalist John Benjamin to learn essential winter survival skills, from fire building and water gathering to preparing for winter hikes and simple first aid. This camp is geared toward beginner survivalists. Come prepared for outdoor fun, and we’ll teach you the rest! In 2025, this two-day adventure for ages 10 to 14 will take place on Monday, February 24 and Tuesday, February 25 at the Harris Center.
