Children who love canoeing maximize their time on the Charles River as a NEOC River Runner! This week-long, canoe-focused experience includes developing or advancing canoeing skills, individual and team challenges, and lots of fun on-the-water games. Campers change canoeing partners throughout the week, which encourages both friendships and mentoring. Each Thursday is a day-long adventure on the river!!
Camp days are divided into five activity periods, plus lunchtime. The three morning activity periods are spent on the water learning or practicing canoeing skills, tackling challenges, playing games, or learning about the river ecosystem. River Runners join the greater NEOC camp for the two afternoon sign-ups.
Campers work together to carry canoes and equipment to and from the canoe launch each day, and rinsing equipment as needed, to develop their sense of responsibility.
Please know that late drop-offs and early pick-ups are strongly discouraged for campers in River Runners, especially on their trip day.
