NATICOOK DAY CAMP

Naticook Day Camp is run under the direction of the Town of Merrimack's Parks and Recreation Department.  Learning is part of the fun at Naticook.  Trained counselors guide campers, ages 5 through 14, in a relaxed atmosphere increasing self-confidence, respect and good sportsmanship.

Naticook Day Camp is proud to be accredited by the American Camping Association (ACA). Developed exclusively for the camp industry, this nationally recognized program focuses on program quality, health and safety.  Naticook has voluntarily submitted to this independent appraisal done by camp experts and has earned this mark of distinction.

   

Because of Camp.... a message from ACA. 


 

 The youngest campers, ages 5 and 6, enjoy weekly themes such as Blast Off to Space, Under the Sea, and Back in Time. All activities are geared toward the little ones, and include creative play, sports, storybook time, arts and crafts, and much more!

 
Campers ages 7-14 have their own space in separate bunks around camp. These campers are offered the full array of activities including boating, swim lessons, parachute games, dance, nature, sports, woodworking, theater, etc.  
 
The oldest campers, children entering grade 6 and above, are in a coed group with some unique programming. Additional activities include capture the flag, battleship with the canoes, island swim for those with yellow level swim bracelets, crafts, nature hikes, extreme sports and more.
