In addition we have off site activities such as rock climbing, canoeing, mountain biking, raft building and more. All of these programs are a perfect fit for schools, social service agencies, sport teams, church groups, businesses and individuals. Rattlesnake Adventure Camps are offered in the summer serving grades 3-12 from day camps to counselor training camps. Our camps utilize all of the activities listed above.

Now that summer 2026 has come to a close, we want to take a moment to recognize the incredible humans who made the summer season possible.

Across two weeks of training and nine weeks of summer camp, our amazing staff brought joy, strength, whimsy, heart, and dedication to create a physically and emotionally safe camp environment for hundreds of local children.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. See you next summer!

We know we’ve been quiet lately, but summer is our busiest time of year. A quick glimpse of what we’ve been up to. ❤️ Two weeks of summer camp remain this season!

We had the privilege of hosting a group of students from Northeastern University ahead of their summer as Orientation Leaders. With a focus on team building, communication, and collaboration, students took part in a wide range of activities over two days (with one overnight, including s’mores!)

Today we were thrilled to host a great group of 5th graders from Sunderland Elementary School! The water levels at Lake Wyola are finally returning to winter levels after dam repairs, so we were able to lead the students in our raft-building activity. The perfect experience on a hot day; students worked on collaboration, communication, and teamwork skills while building and then paddling their rafts. We ended the day with our Zipline!

Every year this pair of Pink Lady’s Slippers buds just below one of our cabins. Last year, visiting porcupines nibbled the buds before they got a chance to bloom. Other signs of porcupines include stripped bark on the first 3 feet or so of young trees (as they access the nutritious inner bark) and the rare sighting of one around Morse Hill when it’s very quiet and the kids have gone home for the day.

There are spotted salamander eggs in the vernal pool again this Spring, but the pool’s water level is lower than we’ve seen in the last few years.

We wouldn’t mind a few rainy days to keep it filled long enough for the next generation of salamanders to hatch!
