NEBC Winter Camp (2/20-2/23/2024) 1st-5th Grade - Day Camp Session

Winter Camp: Winter Festival Winter is here, and with it, a chance to either test our mettle against the harsh winter weather, or to stay warm and safe inside, picking up hobbies and skills to help pass the time until Spring. So then, why not both? This year at New England Base Camp, join us for a mix of the classic winter activities we have come to enjoy—sledding, skating, fire-building, and more—along with a focus on some cozy indoor activities too—arts and crafts, storytelling, boardgames, and community-building.

NEBC Winter Camp (2/20-2/23/2024) 6th-12th Grade - Day Camp Session

Winter Camp: Cozy Edition Winter is here, and as much as we love rugged outdoorsmanship and the skills it provides, there’s something to be said about indoorsmanship too! Not only will we learn how to stay safe and comfortable outdoors despite the weather, but also many traditional indoor activities that people have passed down for centuries: storytelling, music, games, crafts, and more! Participants will also be helping the younger program with their Winter Festival: either by helping create the props and costumes, participating themselves, or helping run and plan some of their booths and activities!
