Camp Wetu

Camp Wetu at Mount Hope Farm is the perfect place to have an active summer, meet lots of friends, explore new ideas – and make long-lasting memories.

Camp Wetu is designed for children ages 5 to 12. Come for a week or come for all seven weeks – every moment at Camp Wetu will be exciting (and educational!) as campers explore the world around them. Plus, every week at Camp Wetu kids enjoy special water days (weather permitting).

While the kids are having a blast,  parents can rest assured that Camp Wetu is run by experienced, competent staff members, and that the health and safety of our campers is a top priority.

The registration fee includes daily, healthy snacks (campers bring their own lunch) and a Camp Wetu tee shirt. Camp Wetu offers a discount per child for additional siblings attending the same week.
