Going to camp for the first time can be daunting, but your camper will grow and gain confidence every step of the way. There are lots of ways you can prepare them for their first summer at Camp Quinipet.
Founded in 1947, Quinipet is grounded spiritually (and physically!) upon our five rocks; Love, Courage, Faith, Honesty and Humility. These rocks act as our value base, guiding everything that we do at camp. Quinipet is an ideal environment for inner spiritual reflection and growth. We strive to make Quinipet a welcoming and inclusive environment for people from all backgrounds.
