Camp is an Adventure



Sleepaway camp is all about friendships and experiences.  

Here at Oasis Pines, your child will get to experience nature and adventure at its best.  The campus of Smith College is an amazing place for a nature walk.  The trail is located on the perimeter of the lake and features spectacular views of the campus.  

We also offer an indoor rock climbing wall.  Rock climbing is supervised by 2 outdoor adventure leaders who are certified in all aspects to ensure safety.  

Additionally, we offer an indoor botanical garden, where our campers will learn about horticulture an participate in environmental  and planting programs. 

Swim and Boating at Oasis Pines


Got water? YES WE DO! Our campers will have the opportunity to swim in an indoor  Olympic size NCAA regulation pool.  Our pool is supervised by American Red Cross Certified Swim Instructors and Lifeguards, whom we hire as well as those provided by Smith College.  The pool features a low diving board, lap lanes, and goes to 13 feet deep.  All campers must and will be swim tested on their 1st day of camp.    Swim periods will include instruction as well as guided instruction through play and free choice swim.  All campers will swim everyday!

Here at Oasis Pines, we also offer boating to our campers.  Each camper will have the opportunity to kayak or canoe on our sparkling blue lake.  All campers must wear life jackets and will receive instruction from our certified staff before going boating.  This calming experience is a breathtaking one as each camper will get to experience the gorgeous campus of Smith College.
