A Week at OSPREY Camp

The OSPREY Camp Experience

OSPREY Camp holds weekly sessions for the entire school year. For the 2024-2025 school year, our busiest months are September, October, November, March, April and May.

We can run educational programs for small, independent schools and large public schools. Most of our programs are 3-day, but we can also run 4-day and 5-day educational programs. We have a wide variety of ecological, team-building, and interactive lessons for your teachers to choose from. The choice is yours!

From academics aligned with Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards to an emphasis on social development, OSPREY Camp helps teach the whole child. We offer a few different curriculum models that are designed to be the best fit for your school and your students.

Our most traditional model utilizes trained high school mentors allow teachers to break their classes into small groups for hands-on instruction. Mentors provide leadership in cabin activities to ensure “down time” is productive, positive and as enriching as class time. Some schools choose to rely on their own parent volunteers for supervision, and our talented camp staff can provide outdoor educational class lessons during the day.
