Wellfleet Bay
Natural History Day Camp
Our camp is designed to promote a child’s lasting curiosity and excitement for the natural world.
Our goal is to instill awareness and appreciation of the natural world, to teach responsibility for the
environment, and to promote an understanding of our place in nature. Camp activities are carefully
planned to meet these goals and, at the same time, create a fun and memorable experience.

Additional Camp Information
Camp Staff
Our staff are chosen for their enthusiasm, experience, knowledge,
and ability to work with children in the outdoors. They are college
graduates or current undergraduates in an environmental and/or
educational field. Staff members participate in a week-long pre-camp
training and are certified in First Aid and CPR.
Our Expectations of Campers
Due to the outdoor and exploratory nature of our camp program,
campers must be able to move about on uneven terrain.
Campers are expected to participate in age-appropriate activities,
including nature study. All campers must follow stated behavior
expectations and safety rules. Campers in the Ecologists program
must demonstrate strong swimming skills in order to participate
in snorkeling activities. If you have any questions regarding your
child’s ability to participate fully in our camp program, contact Camp
Director Emily Wolfe at 508-349-2615, ext. 106. At any time, parents
may request copies of background checks and health care and
discipline policies, as well as procedures for filing grievances.

you may pick him/her up any time from 12:15 to 12:45 pm.
If your child’s camp ends at 2:30 pm you may pick him/her
up any time from 2:15 to 2:45 pm. This will help to alleviate

survive with little oxygen, and what plants thrive in the sandy
dune environment.

Includes a trip to Beech Forest. Venture out to find birds in various
habitats and learn about their adapations. We’ll become familiar
with common birds and some less common ones! We’ll also
look for dragonflies, damselflies, and other animals that fly.
7/20–7/24 Cape Cod Voyages

perfect. But wait...this could all change. Cape Cod is losing an
average of 3.8 feet of shoreline each year. How will this affect
the Cape and its wildlife? From beetles to birds, investigate the
fragility of these animals and their habitat and learn how you
can make a difference.

July 20–August 28: $365 M/$430 NM, per week
The Ecologists program expands on already acquired natural history knowledge.
Participants will be involved in exploration both on and off the sanctuary,
including inquiry-based activities, scientific research, and ecological management
studies. All sessions include opportunities to learn practical field techniques and
ecological practices, as well as outdoor skills such as kayaking or snorkeling. Each
week a different activity is offered with an emphasis on proper instruction and
safety. Camper-to-camp instructor ratio is 8:1.
6/22–6/26 Critical Coastal Habitats
Includes a boat trip to Monomoy Island and a kayak trip.
Recently southeastern Massachusetts has seen a large increase
in development. As a result, many critical habitats that are
home to rare and endangered species are being affected. Join
our week-long investigation of these critical coastal habitats—
sandplain grasslands, coastal healthlands, saltmarshes, barrier
beaches, and tidal flats.
6/29–7/3 Investigating Insects
Includes a snorkeling trip and a canoe trip at Gull Pond. Insects
comprise more than half the animals on Earth. Come get
wet while you catch dragonflies, use microscopes to identify
aquatic insects, and investigate the health of our water. Learn
field research techniques as you set pitfall traps for beetles and
conduct a pillbug population study. Be quick on your feet as
you try to census butterflies and catch swift tiger beetles.
7/6–7/10 Field Research Fundamentals
Includes a boat trip to South Beach and a paddleboard trip.
Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary conducts many summer
research projects. This week you’ll have opportunities to
take part in these projects while learning basic field biology
practices. You’ll take feeder surveys, radio-track box turtles,
search for terrapin nesting sites, census shorebirds and marine
invertebrates, and check for amphibians under coverboards.
7/13–7/17 Budding Marine Biologists
Includes a snorkeling trip and a whale watch trip. Learn about sea
turtles, watch whales, and meet scientists who cultivate clams.
Practice techniques for assisting stranded dolphins and learn
how to care for injured wildlife. We’ll snorkel and go whale
watching in hopes of some close encounters!
7/20–7/24 Marine Life Explorations
Includes a marine life cruise aboard the Albatross.
From the shore to the bottom of the sea floor, we’ll explore the
diversity of life that inhabits the sea. Cruise on a boat to sample
for benthic, nektonic, and planktonic animals. Observe the fish,
crabs, sea stars, and shellfish that call Cape waters their home.
7/27–7/31 The Outer Lands
Includes a hike in Provincetown and a kayak trip. Experience the
challenges and triumphs of trekking across a beach and dunes
at the windswept tip of Cape Cod. Climb the Cape’s highest
observation tower to view our changing coastline. We’ll also
kayak to explore the shores of Cape Cod Bay.
8/3–8/7 Migration Mania
Includes a boat trip to South Beach and a whale watch.
Migration—it’s for the birds, not to mention whales, butterflies,
bats, sea turtles, and many other animals. We’ll travel to South
Beach in Chatham to observe shorebirds as well as whles that
feed in Cape Cod Bay during the summer months.
8/10–8/14 Island Explorations
Includes a Nauset Marsh cruise and snorkeling trip. Discover why
island ecology is so unique. We’ll hike Great Island in Wellfleet,
check out Try Island, take a boat around Nauset Marsh, and
snorkel. We’ll look for marine life, such as sea stars and seals,
and search for natural clues from Cape Cod’s past.
8/17–8/21 Solar Science
Includes a hike in Provincetown and a paddleboarding trip. Using
renewable resources such as sun, wind, and water is key when
it comes to maintaining the health of our planet. Learn about
solar energy by building a mini-solar car and cooking with a
solar oven. You will also learn about the Cape’s abundance of
wind power and create your own wind-powered device.
8/24–8/28 Turtles of Cape Cod
Includes a kayak trip and a snorkeling trip. Turtles occupy almost
every habitat on Cape Cod, from pine woods to open ocean.
However, their populations have been declining, resulting in
some species being listed as endangered or threatened. Search
for, weigh, measure, and record the behavior of three species of
turtles to help us collect data and gain insight into their natural
history. Learn what we can do to help protect these reptiles.
Please note: participants must be able to demonstrate strong
swimming skills in order to snorkel. Please call the Camp
director with any questions or concerns.
