Boston Nature Center Camp

Spend Your Summer at BNC

Boston Nature Center Camps combine outdoor exploration, hands-on activities, and science education, helping campers to grow and connect with the world around them. 

Our caring and experienced camp staff work hard to create a safe and inclusive atmosphere for all children. Set amidst acres of beautiful habitat, our camps provide a unique nature experience in the middle of the city!

Boston Nature Center Camp is at BNC in Mattapan. Boston Nature Center Satellite Camp will be held at the British International School of Boston for summer 2026. 

2026 Camp Registration Details

This year we will not be running camp registration on a lottery system. Instead, we’re introducing Early Bird Registration for families registering on Tiers 1–3 from January 8–20. Find your tier

General registration will open to all families on January 28 at 6 am. To make sure you are prepared, please read our registration instructions ahead of time. To ensure that as many children as possible have an opportunity to experience Boston Nature Center Camp, we ask that you register only for a maximum of 4 weeks of camp per child at BNC. Please note: All camp families registering at Tiers 4 or 5 must have an active membership at the family level or higher for the duration of the camp session.

Our children came home tired, sweaty, and VERY happy! They were singing songs they learned at camp and talking nonstop about their camp counselors, the new friends they made, their team activities, and things they learned about nature.
