Register for Camp

Families may register online or by calling 781-837-9400. To make sure you’re prepared to register for camp, please read our registration instructions and camp policies, which include changes to pricing and membership.

Please note: Due to overwhelming need for financial assistance, we have closed registration for Tiers 1–3. Tier 4 registration is still available by phone only. If you are unable to pay the tier 4 or 5 tuition for camp, we encourage you to add your name to our waitlist. As we continue to secure funding across the state, we will open more spaces at lower tiers where possible.

What Others Are Saying...

"North River Nature Camp is run by people who truly care about kids and the natural world. It's a perfect fit for us. He always learns something new, loves the projects he makes, and comes home excited to play in the woods and show me what he's learned." —2023 Camp Parent
