The Audubon Society of Rhode Island has been offering nature day camps for over 30 years. We aim to provide campers, ages 3- 14, with opportunities to develop and understand the relationship between themselves and the natural world.
Year after year, children connect with nature and build a sense of respect and responsibility towards the environment through exciting hands-on learning experiences.
Audubon Summer Camps are conveniently located at three of our wildlife refuges (Bristol, Seekonk, Smithfield). These sites offer campers the opportunity to explore a variety of protected and carefully maintained wildlife habitats.

It’s the perfect environment for adventure, exploration, learning, and loads of fun!
Camp instructors are experienced environmental educators with training in education and natural sciences. Each camp has a low camper to staff ratio: a maximum of 15 campers per 2 staff.
A typical day begins at 9:00 a.m. Once everyone settles in, it’s time to head outside for habitat explorations, wildlife studies, hikes, and nature games. Other parts of the day include arts and crafts, special projects, animal visits, and more!
