About Green Explorers Camp:

About Hale Day Camps!
Situated on 1,100 acres of unspoiled woodlands, winding streams, extensive hiking trails and scenic ponds, Hale Day Camp offers the perfect backdrop for a summer of outdoor exploration and learning. Hale Day Camp’s “backyard” consists of two playing fields, a private swimming beach with changing area and bathroom, an outdoor activity pavilion, an Arts & Crafts cabin, Worthington and Powissett Lodges.
Hale Day Camp Philosophy
Our staff create a trusting and safe camp atmosphere for children by:
Developing a sense of responsibility toward themselves and their community.
Practicing cooperation and fair play.
Guiding discovery and exploration of their environment.
Building friendships and sharing talents.
Camp is full of adventure!
We offer a wide variety of exciting experiences for allcampers at each of our camps. Hale's complete range of activities reward each camper with challenges, a sense of accomplishment, and most of all, FUN!
Campers can choose to register for the Traditional Camp, one of the Specialty Camps or combine them for an extra exciting summer! With all our programs we recognize campers share the need for a nurturing environment where they can mature socially, emotionally and intellectually. We believe in continuing camping traditions such as, being outdoors all day, getting plenty of exercise and swimming in our natural ponds. We also believe that having choices gives campers a more personal experience at camp along with lots of traditional camp activities.
Activities offered at Hale Day Camp:
Swimming
Whether learning to swim, striving to pass the “deep end” test, perfecting the “cannonball” technique, or just splashing around, everyone loves swimming in Powissett Pond! Campers have American Red Cross swim lessons and free swim each day (weather permitting).
Nature
Explore the woods for arrowheads, scavenge for blueberries or search for animal tracks as you learn all about the wonders of Hale’s big backyard!
Archery
Grab your arm band, aquiver, an arrow, a bow as the target stands in the distance.
With certified instructors teaching the basics, your camper will be sure to have loads of fun learning how to go for the bull’s-eye!

Using any one of our canoes, kayaks, and row boats, you’ll learn all there is to know about boating: J-strokes, Draws & Pry’s– all in a day’s fun on Powissett Pond.
Arts and Crafts
Let your imagination soar as you imagine, discover, and create at the Arts and Crafts Lodge. With projects changing daily like friendship bracelets, finger painting, and animal masks, it’s hard to get bored here!
