DRUMLIN FARM CAMP - Mass Audubon

DRUMLIN FARM CAMP Discover. Explore. Be Outside.

2021

At Drumlin Farm Camp, children ages

4–17 discover local habitats, connect with

the natural landscape, and develop great

friendships—a tradition we’ve maintained

since 1956. We seek to foster a lifelong bond

between campers and the land through

carefully designed camp activities and

outdoor exploration. Campers experience

life on a working farm and wildlife sanctuary

as they care for farm animals, practice

sustainable farming, observe native wildlife,

and discover the science behind nature. At

the heart of Drumlin Farm Camp are three

leading concepts:

Community Campers feel free to try new things and make new

friends in our welcoming, supportive community.

Interdependence Campers learn about natural cycles and the

interconnectedness of people, agriculture, wildlife,

and habitats.

Stewardship Campers learn how they can care for the world

around them as they discover the importance of wild

spaces and the benefits of sustainable farming.

Welcome to Drumlin Farm Camp!

COVID-19 SAFETYThe health and welfare of our campers and staff remains our highest priority. We feel confident that the success of Mass Audubon Camps in designing and offering a safe summer of camping in 2020 will guide us into another great summer in 2021. We will continue to stay informed and engaged with the work of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and the American Camp Association to ensure best practices with regard to staying safe as we move through the developing phases of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We anticipate that we will continue to practice the wearing of masks, physical distancing, small group sizes, enhanced sanitizing protocols, and all other recommended health and safety guidelines. As we learn more from working closely with partners in public health, childcare, and camping, we will continue to keep our camp community updated.

Please note that any photos depicting children without face coverings were taken prior to 2020. All Mass Audubon program participants are now required to wear masks.

experience focused around food and farming. Children

sheep, goats, pigs, and chickens), explore the varied

habitats of Drumlin Farm and the Boston Nature Center

(field, forest, and wetlands), work in the crop fields and

gardens, and taste food that they gathered themselves.

NEW! ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERSHIP BOOTCAMP

$995 members; $1,195 nonmembers, per session

Session 1: June 28–July 9

Session 2: July 12–23

Session 3: July 26–August 6

Session 4: August 9–20

Final expo for all participants: August 25

Jump-start your climate activism skills in this two-week

environmental leadership camp. Develop leadership

skills and action steps to combat climate change in your

community. Alongside your peers, you’ll learn how to identify

areas that are especially vulnerable to the effects of climate

change, and locate resources you can utilize to address

those vulnerabilities. You’ll participate in service projects

around the sanctuary, and see what climate action looks like

at Mass Audubon.

At the end of your two-week session, we’ll help you set goals

to take on a climate action project of your own in your

community. Connect with youth climate groups within Mass

Audubon and across Massachusetts, so that you can keep

the momentum going! At the end of the summer, on August

25, we’ll welcome all participants to join us for a final virtual

meeting, where you can share your progress and collaborate

with peers before summer’s end.

THE PROGRAMDevelop your leadership skills by

working alongside our counselors and

sharing your love and knowledge of

nature with younger campers. Each

session, you’ll be assigned an age

group to work with for the full 1–2

weeks, enabling you to develop bonds

with campers as you assist with camp

programming.

CITs will have two and a half days of

training at the start of the summer,

giving them a chance to create a

community, share experiences,

develop job skills, and learn more

about nature and agriculture. Ongoing

feedback from our staff will help

you find and develop your individual

teaching and leadership styles as you

create new lessons and assist with

games, songs, crafts, and wacky

camp fun.

In addition to being a great résumé builder,

hours spent volunteering may count

toward community service requirements

(varies by town).

CITs develop skills including:. Problem-solving. Organization & group management. Leadership. Listening & communication. Safety awareness. Team- and community-building

CIT TrainingTo provide the fullest experience, we

host a mandatory CIT training during

the week of June 21–25. Each CIT will

be required to attend for two and a

half days, either June 21–23 or June

23–25. During that training, you’ll learn

about child development, safety, and

best practices for working at camp.

Camp staff lead trainings and offer

mentorship to CITs to supplement

their development. Plus, we’ll

have a community-building

campfire and s’mores!

things happen. Our tight-knit staff

community creates a cohesive and

What a gift to offer this magical experience during COVID! Our children came home

every day energized and inspired, regaled us with stories of their encounters with

the farm animals, catching toads, playing games outside, meeting new friends,

and entertaining camp counselor stories about birds. THANK YOU to the amazing

Drumlin staff!” — 2020 Camp Parent

Mass Audubon protects more than 38,000 acres

of land throughout Massachusetts, saving birds and

other wildlife, and making nature accessible to all. As

Massachusetts’ largest nature conservation nonprofit, we

welcome more than a half million visitors a year to our

wildlife sanctuaries and 20 nature centers. From inspiring

hilltop views to breathtaking coastal landscapes, serene

woods, and working farms, we believe in protecting our

state’s natural treasures for wildlife and for all people—a

vision shared in 1896 by our founders, two extraordinary

Boston women.

Today, Mass Audubon is a nationally recognized

environmental education leader, offering thousands of

camp, school, and adult programs that get over 225,000

kids and adults outdoors every year. With more than

135,000 members and supporters, we advocate on Beacon

Hill and beyond, and conduct conservation research to

preserve the natural heritage of our beautiful state for

today’s and future generations. We welcome you to explore

a nearby sanctuary, find inspiration, and get involved.
