2024 Summer Day Camp is sold out! Feel free to apply for our campership program and register for the waitlist for all desired camps. If you receive notice that a spot has become available in your desired camps, we will finalize your campership at that time.

Due to the generosity of our donors, we’re able to offer a limited number of camp scholarships – camperships! Apply for a campership and we will send you a confirmation before registering.

Campership awards are designed to increase the accessibility of our summer day camp program. If you have a dependent that would benefit from a one-week summer camp experience at Blandford Nature Center, please complete this application.

Keep in mind that availability of both camps and camperships are limited, and acceptance and processing are time-sensitive!
