3 Tips for Happy Campers from Rich Morell of Camp Birch Hill

Owner and camp director Rich Morell of Camp Birch Hill in New Durham, New Hampshire knows what it takes to make happy campers. Dedicated to providing children with ways to learn and grow for an overall positive summer experience, Camp Birch Hill designs each day around campers' individual wants and needs. Here are the top 3 tips for making every camper's environment safe, educational, and most of all fun. 

Program

Every child is different - that means each camper has their own desires for how they want to spend their summer days. While most summer camps offer a wide range of activities, they often have daily schedules and weekly programs that limit the kids' freedom to choose. Rich Morrell of Camp Birch Hill wanted to let campers choose the activities that meet their respective interests, so his program works a little differently. Before arriving to Camp Birch Hill, children can choose from 50 activities to create personalized schedules for maximum fun in the sun. 

Facilities

A camp's facilities have a big influence on the daily activities that are offered. It's important that there are indoor as well as outdoor facilities to keep kids safe, active, and having fun in all types of weather conditions. Providing alternate but equally as engaging activities for rainy days is one way to keep campers happy.

Food

Every parent knows what happens when kids aren't well-fed: low energy. To keep kids happy - and healthy - Camp Birch Hill serves three hearty meals every day. Carefully selected food items provide the energy campers need to participate in the dozens of activities that are available every day.
