CampBrain Tips for creating/accessing your account, navigating registration opening delays, completing Financial Assistance Applications, or uploading forms.

Payment & Financial AssistancePayment is due in full by credit card at time of registration to confirm your spot.

If you would like to arrange a payment plan or another form of payment, please contact the camp office to discuss options as early as possible.

The Trustees is committed to providing outdoor camp experiences for everyone. To obtain Financial Assistance information and an application, please click on “Financial Assistance” to the left or contact the camp office. Although spots are being held for eligible campers, we suggest you apply as early as possible as assistance is awarded on a rolling basis as space and funds allow.

Member Tuition Rate Weir River Farm and World’s End are properties of The Trustees, a member-supported, nonprofit organization that protects and cares for 27,000 acres across Massachusetts. Trustees Family Members receive the $100 discounted tuition rate for each camper for each week of camp – plus free or discounted admission at 120+ special places, program discounts, and special event pre-sales all year round.

If you purchase or renew your Trustees membership as you register for camp, you will automatically be eligible for the Member tuition rate. Note: Memberships must be valid through August 2024.

Wait ListsIf any of your desired camp weeks are full, you will have the option to join the wait list as you register. Your credit card will not be charged for waitlisted sessions until you accept a spot that becomes available.

What You Need to RegisterPlease have the following ready to proceed to registration:

• Annual physical and  immunization forms
• Emergency and pick up contact info
• Camper insurance policy and doctor contact
• Credit card
• Your Membership number and expiration date, if you are currently a Member through August 2024 and do not plan to renew during registration (search here to find your Member number and expiration)

Camp Groupings Campers are grouped by age at the time camp starts. Group sizes allow for campers to interact with their peers and meet the state staffing requirements. Therefore, buddy requests are not necessary, as campers in the same age range will be together all week.

Refund, Cancellation, and Session Change PolicyDue to the high demand for camp and the complexities of registration administration, please select your camp weeks carefully.

• Prior to May 1, we are able to refund tuition less $150 per camper per week.
• After May 1, we are not able to issue any tuition refunds for cancelled sessions even if spots are refilled.
• Session change requests will be fulfilled if space allows. There is a $50 per camper per week session change fee.
• Note: Memberships are valid upon purchase and are not refundable at any time.

Refunds are not given for camper dismissal, failure to attend, absence, or sick days. Pro-rated refunds will be offered if camp is not able to open due to extreme weather.
