Summer 2020 Update

Since 1948, Nobles Day Camp has been a fun and caring camp community dedicated to a quality summer enrichment program. Campers develop and practice life skills through experiential, engaging activities that build independence and self-confidence in a non-competitive atmosphere. Through the group process and involvement with positive role models, campers learn to appreciate their environment, respect the rights of others, take positive risks and develop long lasting friendships with peers and adults.

We are devastated to share with you the decision to cancel Nobles Day Camp and all Specialty Camps this summer.

After careful consideration and deliberation, we just are not comfortable running Nobles Day Camp, as we know it, in a safe and responsible way. After reviewing the updated camp regulations from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, (which we only received June 1), it has become clear, we cannot offer the program we all know and love, AND keep our campers and staff safe at all times.

It has been an incredibly frustrating roller coaster ride for all of us. For the past 12 weeks, we have poured over every model of safety measures put out by multiple agencies and camp governance boards, looking for as much information as we could to ensure we could bring children back to camp in a way that was safe, engaging and fun. Even though we knew we would need to practice social distancing, wear masks, and stay in small groups all day, we thought we could still offer a plan for Nobles Day Camp, keeping many of our traditions and activities the same, but different. Sadly, that is not the case.

We can’t thank you enough for your incredible support and patience during this process. Should you need us for anything, you can email us at camp@nobles.edu. We will still be working from home, responding to emails and phone calls now and throughout the summer.

We will miss you all terribly this summer, but hope to see you all in 2021!

Stay safe and be well,

Emily Parker, Director
Claire Trainor, Assistant Director
