FAQ
How do I know if Nobles Day Camp is a good fit for my child?
Our goal is to provide the best experience for your child. We strongly encourage a tour of our campus and an overview of the program prior to registering. Due to the many transitions that occur during the day, children that require para-professional services in school often will need the same assistance in camp. Please call the camp office with any questions or concerns.
How do I register my child(ren) for camp?
Click onto our Registration page on our Website. It is an online registration and you will be creating your personal CampInTouch account that you can monitor at anytime.
Can I request that my child be in the same group as their friend?
If you would like to request your child be placed in a group with one of their friends, there is a space on the application form to do so. Each camper may request ONE friend, and the same friend must also request that camper. The friend request must be the same age and entering the same grade in the fall. Multiple friend requests will NOT be accommodated.
I know there are two weeks in a session. Can a session be split or prorated?
Sessions cannot be split or prorated.

What happens at camp during extreme weather, like rain or heat?
We are fortunate to have access to indoor facilities. Our activities are either run as scheduled, or take place in an alternate activity location that is better suited for the conditions. We are, also, able to provide shuttle service to areas of the camp. Proper rain gear is still suggested. On hot days, we pay close attention to the heat index and alter activities accordingly.
How do you screen your staff?
All staff members and volunteers are required to complete a CORI and SORI each season. In addition, they are fingerprinted through a national FBI search. All employees must submit an application and three written references, and are personally interviewed. The majority of our staff is personally connected with current Nobles Day Camp staff or Noble and Greenough school employees.
