Camp Nashoba Day is part of Camp Nashoba, a family operated, traditional summer camp for boys and girls founded in 1957. Instruction is offered by a talented and mature staff made up of camp-experienced men and women, teachers, graduate students, and undergraduate college students, along with select high school students who have attended Nashoba for at least 8 years. Most staff members are former campers who have been at Nashoba for at least 10 years, and the majority are college and graduate students, with many teaching at local elementary and middle schools. All counselors are CPR and First Aid certified, and the entire waterfront staff are certified ARC lifeguards.
Instruction at Camp Nashoba Day encourages campers to gain an appreciation for the environment while learning skills in aquatics, land and water sports, nature, fishing, archery, woodworking, tennis, Red Cross swimming, boating, and paddleboarding. Camp Nashoba aspires to hire a diverse group of counselors and states that all children and counselors shall be treated equally and fairly. The camp encourages counselors and campers to share their knowledge and history with the camp population. Training for staff during pre-camp and weekly in-service sessions focuses on recognizing and valuing individual differences and the rights and dignity of campers, parents, grandparents, and staff.
Camp Nashoba is international, non-denominational, and non-sectarian, with many second and third generation campers. Many campers come from towns surrounding Littleton, including Acton, Andover, Arlington, Boxboro, Bedford, Belmont, Bolton, Carlisle, Chelmsford, Concord, Groton, Harvard, Lexington, Lincoln, Lowell, Newton, Sudbury, Weston, and Westford, and some campers attend from places such as California, Florida, England, Columbia, Venezuela, Spain, Guam, Mexico, France, China, and Japan. This camp must comply with regulations of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and be licensed by the local board of health (105 CMR 430.190).
Parent testimonials report that campers have learned new things, made new friends, and participated in activities such as waterskiing, boating, and arts and crafts over 4-week and 8-week stays. Parents also describe the staff as warm, mature, engaged with the children, and respectful of children’s opinions and perspectives, and note that some are former campers who now send their own children.
