About Overnight Camp
Outdoor, Phone-Free Fun
The Nature Effect
Summer Camp at Camp Mason gives kids extended time in a natural environment. We know this is a good thing for children’s physical and mental wellbeing, not only does the extensive research tell us so, but we also see the positive impacts that nature has on children each and every day at camp. Nature is healing and awe inspiring, and we have lots of it at camp for your camper/s to explore, enjoy and experience!
Time to Play
Camp is a place where kids can be kids! Their main responsibilities once they arrive are to play and have fun, while respecting the values of our welcoming community. Kids break from their regular routines and commitments to play games, try exciting activities and to laugh with others. We know that when children play outside in a safe and inclusive environment, incredible things happen. They build confidence, feel good about themselves, try new things and make friends.
Switch Off
Kids come to camp without their cell phones and other technology to connect with others in person. Campers tell us how much they enjoy the step away from the tech in their lives and appreciate the value of in-person, real life interactions with others. It’s important for us all to disconnect from time to time, slow down and be present with others – camp gives campers a supportive environment to do just that.
It can be strange at first not to have direct and immediate contact with your kids at camp. Our leadership team gives new camp families an update on how their camper/s are doing by phone or email after two-four days. Campers can also receive mail and emails at camp from their friends and family at home during their stay.
