Campers are grouped by age for most trips. This keeps campers with the same interests and abilities together so all things we participate in are age appropriate.

All of our campers ride in an air conditioned certified yellow school bus equipped with seatbelts. All buses are driven by experienced certified drivers who operate buses all year long. All staff ride on the buses with the campers and sit scattered throughout the bus for proper supervision.

A majority of Colony Pool is very shallow (3 ft or less). Our counselors are in the water with the campers at all times and lifeguards are on duty. Please relay your camper’s swimming ability to the Camp Director on the first day of camp.

Campers have the option to take the Deep Water test in order to swim in the deep sections.

We take allergies very seriously, please make sure you inform the camp directors of all allergies your child has. We are peanut AND tree nut free at Chatham Summer Camp. Products containing any nuts of any kind are permitted at camp.
