MARSHFIELD, MA … Registration is now open for Summer Camp Warsofsky, the Boys and Girls Club of Marshfield’s newly named summer camp for fun-filled adventures and lifelong memories in a wellness driven environment.
Offering a traditional camp environment that is welcoming and accessible to all, the Boys and Girls Club of Marshfield’s goal is to give every camper an opportunity for a successful camp experience – making new friends, trying new activities, becoming more confident and having fun.
Led by a dedicated and caring staff team, Summer Camp Warsofsky is a 10-week program which will be held June 17 – August 23, 2024 and is geared towards youth ages five to 14. Camp hours are 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. Families can take advantage of weekly or daily options as well as an extended hour option from 4 p.m. – 5 p.m.
New Camp Options
Sports, arts, swimming, outdoor adventure, STEM, new games and more are on the traditional day camp schedule at Summer Camp Warsofsky. New camp options include:
– Lower Camp Half and Full Day options are for children ages 5-6. Lower Camp Half Day runs from 8 a.m. – 12 p.m. and is a shorter version of the Club’s traditional day camp. Groups of five will be led by their counselors and participate in a variety of on-site activities.
– Middle Camp for ages 7-8 is a traditional day camp of on-site activities.
– Upper Camp for ages 9-11, is traditional day camp that provides older children the option of creating their own camp experience. Working with their counselors, campers “map out” their day/week to schedule activities, themes and special events.
– Volunteer Camp is a program specifically designed for ages 12-14 who want to develop their leadership skills in working with children and have the potential in the future to return as a staff person. Activities include assisting with camper group management and the set-up, clean-up and running of activities, on-site team building, off-site community volunteering, field trips and more. Interested “candidates” will be asked to submit an essay about why they are interested and then have an “interview” with Camp leadership and participate in basic training.
– Excursion Camps are for ages 7-14 and combine travel off-site for a special excursion for part of the day along with traditional on-site camp activities. A Golf excursion at Green Harbor Golf Course is offered for ages 7-11 the week of June 24-28, 2024. A River Adventure of kayaking, swimming and exploring for ages 12-14 is offered July 8-12, 2024 and July 29-August 2, 2024.
– R.A.M.S. Camp allows children with developmental or other challenges to participate in camp activities alongside their peers with varying levels of support. There is special focus on helping R.A.M.S. campers improve their social-emotional skills, community skills, life skills, recreation and leisure skills in a fun, safe and supportive environment with specially trained staff.
