Arcadia Wildlife Sanctuary

Arcadia Nature Camp

Camp is a special place for kids to investigate nature, play games, make friends and learn ways to help protect the natural world. What better place to do this than at an incredible wildlife sanctuary?

Based in Easthampton, campers ages 5–15 share their excitement and curiosity about the outdoors, connect with nature, and spend time with friends, new and old. Our 734-acre wildlife sanctuary consists of forests, meadows, rivers, and vernal pools—the perfect setting to explore, get inspired, learn and have lots of fun!

Register for Camp

Online registration for Arcadia Nature Camp will open on Wednesday, January 31, 2024 at 6:00 am. Registration by phone and customer support will not be available until regular business hours. Once registration opens, families may register online or by calling 413-584-3009. 

To ensure that as many children as possible are able to participate in camp, families may register each camper for no more than four weeks of camp.

Sliding Scale Update

Due to overwhelming need for financial assistance, we have closed registration for Tiers 1-3. Tier 4 Registration is still available by phone only. If you are unable to pay the Tiers 4 or 5 tuition for camp, we encourage you to add your name to our waitlist. As we continue to secure funding across the state, we will open more spaces at lower tiers where possible. Sign up for the waitlist

Prior to Registration

To make sure you’re prepared for registration, please read our registration instructions and camp policies, which include changes to pricing and membership.
