What is the weather like at camp?
You should expect all kinds of weather, with the exception of snow. A few times each summer it
will rain (sometimes it’s light and sometimes it pours!) so bring something to keep you dry. On
most days it will be sunny and warm with temperatures in between 70 & 80 degrees Fahrenheit
(21-27 Celsius). Mornings can to be as cold as 60-65 degrees (15-18 Celsius) and evenings can
be downright cold (once in a while down to 50 Fahrenheit, or 10 Celsius!), so make sure to bring
clothes like a sweater or two, a light-weight jacket and a raincoat or mackintosh. At the same
time, most of the summer is very warm or even hot, so most of the time you’ll be wearing shorts,
t-shirts and other lightweight clothes.
Do I need to bring blankets and sheets?
Domestic staff are expected to provide their own linens. Staff traveling from outside the United
States are provided with sheets, blankets, a pillow, and towels. If you are not warm enough
please ask your Head Counselor the following morning for a supplemental blanket. We want you
to sleep comfortably.
Where will I be living at camp?
Typically, General Counselors live in the cabins or lodges with campers. Specialty Counselors,
Activity heads, and Kitchen, Laundry and Maintenance Staff generally live in separate staff housing
located throughout the Camp.
What do I pack for Camp?
See our link for our Recommended Staff Packing List. If you are a specialist please remember
that you are expected to bring any equipment that you will need to perform your duties
(example: Tennis Staff should bring any racquets that they will need).
What is the best way to travel to Camp?
Domestic staff are welcome to drive to Camp. Please don’t use Mapquest.com to obtain directions.
Our Camp is not located on Mapquest. Instead, use the link provided on our site to find directions.
If you need additional instructions please email us.
Many staff (both domestic and international) fly to Camp. If you choose to fly please follow
the instructions we give carefully. The nearest airport to Camp is Boston Logan (Boston,
Massachusetts). Some staff will fly into New York City instead of Boston. Below are the basic
directions to travel to Camp from either airport. PLEASE be advised that we are not able to pick
up incoming staff at the airport.
From New York City
Go to the Port Authority Bus Station, located between Eighth and Ninth Avenues and 40th to 42nd
Streets. Take the earliest Greyhound Bus that goes to Boston’s South Station. Once at South
Station, buy a ticket on the Dartmouth Coach Line, traveling to New London, New Hampshire.
Before you leave, Jason’s cell phone to let us know when you will be arriving in New London, NH
at 1-617-686-1533. If you do not call no one will be there to pick you up.
From Boston’s Logan Airport
If you are traveling from Boston’s Logan Airport, when you leave the only exit of the airport
terminal you will see an island in the middle of the street where people wait for buses. Walk
across to the waiting spot for the Dartmouth Coach Bus Line. Purchase a ticket to travel on the
Dartmouth Line from Logan Airport to New London, NH. Before you leave, Jason’s cell phone to
let us know when you will be arriving in New London, NH at 1-617-686-1533. If you do not call
no one will be there to pick you up.
How do I notify you of my travel plans?
It is very crucial that you inform us of any proposed or finalized travel arrangements via email
before you leave to travel to Camp. Not every email reaches its intended recipient, so please
make sure we respond to your email.
What about transportation at the end of the summer?
We will help you get to the bus station or the airport to catch a flight after camp. We recommend
making any travel plans for Sunday, August 15th. We have a celebration to thank all of our
staff at Camp the night after the children leave, and we recommend not missing it!
Is there Internet access at Camp, and do I have to pay to gain access?
We have Internet access in our Staff Lounge and it free for all staff to use. This is made
available to staff during time off each day. Please understand that we have 150 adults who all
want to check their email. For this reason we ask everyone to limit their time online to 20
minutes per session.
Are there phones available for staff use? Yes. There are four cordless payphones available for staff use in the Staff Lounge. These phones
can both make and receive phone calls.
Can I receive calls at camp?
Staff are welcome to receive phone calls on the four payphones located in the Staff Lounge. There
is a message board in the Lounge for missed calls. Staff may not receive phone calls in the
Main Office. However, in an emergency situation a message will be taken by one of the Camp
Secretaries.
Can I purchase and use phone cards at Camp?
Yes. The Main Office sells phone cards. We recommend purchasing them during your period off, as
the Office closes in the evenings. Cards typically cost between $5 - $20.00.
What do I do with my valuables while at camp?
Valuables, including large amounts of cash, are best not kept in cabins. Almost every year
somebody disregards this advice and loses money. We will be happy to lock your valuables in the
office safe for your withdrawal at any reasonable time. We cannot be responsible for valuables
left in the cabins.
What do I do if I have any questions?
Contact the Camp Office at 781-793-0091 each weekday between 9-5pm EST and ask for Jason or
Catherine or e-mail us.
