General Camp Information
CAMP BIRTHDAYS
Summer birthdays at Camp Robin Hood are always memorable. We make sure the entire day is special for your child from the moment he or she wakes up. Parents can arrange a phone call with the birthday camper and we provide a cake and parade at lunch or dinner, highlighted by the whole camp singing Happy Birthday! Parents are also able to arrange a special birthday package such as donuts, an ice cream party, or pizza party for the camper and his or her bunkmates. If your child has a summer birthday, please fill out the Summer Birthday Form on Camp In Touch to customize his or her celebration.
TRIPS OUT OF CAMP
On various occasions, campers are taken off campgrounds to participate in outdoor activities. Throughout the summer, all campers have the opportunity to climb one of the many beautiful mountains in the area. Campers feel accomplished as they reach the top of the mountain with their cabin mates and counselors. Our senior campers will enjoy a relaxing day at Ogunquit Beach in Maine. Campers have the opportunity to participate in athletic competitions at camps in the surrounding area. .
EXCURSIONS
The first session at camp is dedicated to enjoying all things nature. During the second session our senior campers take an end of the summer trip. On these excursions, campers bond with their friends outside of the camp environment. Some of our past trips have included going to water parks, Cape Cod, white water rafting near the Canadian border, and even Fenway Park in Boston.
GREEN & WHITE
The highlight of the summer, Robin Hood’s “Green and White” is a remarkable five day all camp color war. Every summer our campers try to guess the way that Green & White will begin (or “break”) and every summer we find new ways to surprise them – think early-morning helicopter landing and professional drum-lines. We pick four captains from our most experienced and well-respected staff, select teams, and then five full days of competition and fun ensue. The competition, however, is not only athletic. At Robin Hood, we want each child to shine and have his or her moment in the sun – there are points for drama, singing, nature, arts and crafts, woodshop, spelling, geography and countless other areas.
PARENTS VISITING DAY - Visiting Day: Sat July 22, 2023
We are excited to have you spend time with us in the Realm! You will meet your child’s friends and their parents, play at the activities and understand first-hand the joy your child experiences at Robin Hood. Please log in to your Camp In Touch account to complete the form that indicates your visiting plans.
TIPPING
Tipping counselors is not allowed. If you would like to show your gratitude toward your child’s counselor, a nice note would be appreciated.
PHOTO YEARBOOK
Each camper will receive a Robin Hood Yearbook at no additional charge. The photo yearbook is in full color and contains pictures and memories of each cabin group, counselors, activities and more! The yearbooks will be
distributed in the fall to all campers.
