Clues to fit

Staff — former campers become counselors, creating community continuity

Like many of our campers, the Nobles Day Camp staff considers the camp a second home. The Head Counselors are qualified and experienced staff members, many of whom are educators and/or parents. They lead a team of caring, energetic counselors, many of whom are former campers at Nobles Day Camp. The connections they form with campers and with each other create the close-knit community that keeps so many coming back year after year.

Setting — Nobles campus on the Charles River, Dedham MA

For the first two years, campers spent sunny days swimming and diving from an anchored float in the Charles River. On rainy days, campers gathered in the school's small gymnasium, which has since doubled in size and now offers expansive facilities where the campers play and learn.

Growing confidence & friendships

Grades 8–9 program — increased independence and off-campus travel

As our campers mature, our programs offer more opportunities to increase personal growth, social development, and leadership skills. Campers earn the privilege of traveling, based on their behavior with both peers and staff, in and out of camp. Expectations increase with each age level as campers are given more freedom and responsibility. Our 8th- and 9th-graders travel off campus at least twice a week.

Programs & camp life

Choice-based daily schedule — Grades 1–3

Nobles Day Camp is all about choices. We believe that allowing campers to choose their own activities helps with their personal growth, encourages them to try new things, and develops decision-making skills. Every day, campers join coed groups of children entering the same grade next fall. Each hour, campers select an activity from a range of age-appropriate options. Although counselors encourage children to try new activities, the final decision rests with the camper.

Food — USDA CACFP snack program and morning snack

We are in the process of choosing snacks that meet the USDA CACFP nutrition standards, which include a greater variety of fruit, more whole grains, and less added sugar and saturated fat. We provide a morning snack for all campers.

For parents & families

Financial aid — sliding-scale assistance available

Our goal is to help as many children as possible attend Nobles Day Camp. We have limited funds for camper assistance. The financial assistance ranges from 5% to 50% off the session tuition rate. To accommodate the maximum number of children, we may only be able to offer assistance for one session.
