Greetings Birch Hiller's!
While camp is covered with snow, our thoughts are always on the upcoming summer.  For those feeling chilly in New England, summer may seem far away. The next few months will pass quickly and before we know it, we will be back together with our friends from Camp Birch Hill.  As we gear up for camp here in the office, we would like to remind our families to begin planning for another unforgettable summer with their Birch Hill Family.  
Already enrolled families: 
Your camp forms are ready to be completed in your CampInTouch accounts.   Log In here to get a head start on your camper's forms. You will also find a suggested packing list under the "forms and documents" tab. 
Families who have yet to enroll:
What are you waiting for?  We continue to enroll new and return campers everyday and our spaces are filling up quickly.  Please be sure to enroll your camper for 2016 to avoid missing out on all the fun we will be having this summer!

NEW ACTIVITIES THIS SUMMER.....
[ The new day lily garden/nursery looking beautiful for Mike & Chrissy's camp wedding in August.  The ceremony was held amongst these beautiful flowers].  We are super excited to be adding  GARDENING   to our list of awesome camp activities.  Here campers will dig up and transplant the native perennials grown here at camp-  Adding color to our beautiful grounds. During this activity campers will also tend to the Birch Hill Herb garden helping our camp chef make use of the fresh ingredients grown here at camp.  

SURVIVAL is another activity we are very excited to add to our adventure program. Survival class will teach campers how to survive in the woods by building forts, forage firewood and build fires among other useful skills .  Bound to be an exciting option for our campers who love the outdoors!
