Our Philosophy
Habitat Nature Day Camp in Belmont has been engaging children since 1974. We are committed to providing quality outdoor experiences that are guided by a philosophy of discovery, giving campers the opportunity to explore, question, and connect in nature: We encourage campers, ages 5–15, to explore their surroundings and discover new interests and talents. We want them to question and challenge their understanding of nature and their place within it. And we strive to create a community that connects campers in lasting friendships.
We hope that your child will come to love Habitat and its camp program as so many have in the past.
