Camp Facilities
Our Dining Hall
The Mirimichi Lodge serves as our dining hall for summer camp with seating for 150 people. With two large fireplaces, indoor deck overlooking the water and bathrooms this is a perfect place for events.
Waterfront
Our waterfront sits on the 300 acre Quidnick Reservoir. Campers or guests can swim, fish, boat or enjoy one of the most beautiful sunsets in Rhode Island.
Boathouse
Our boathouse gives campers or guests the ability to canoe, kayak, paddle board or sail.
Traditional Camp
Campers are in groups based on age. This is meant to ensure campers are with peers at the same developmental stage. As campers return summer after summer their group will progress in activities. These could be unlocking new high ropes elements or more complex crafts.
Immersive Camp
Immersive camps are camps that go beyond your average experience. Campers will be fully enveloped in the theme chosen based on a book, movie, or TV show. Each day campers and counselors dress in costume, participate in themed activities, and leave wishing they never had to.
Specialty Camp
Specialty camps are for campers interested in a specific activity. Each day will have activities that continue to develop a camper's skill level. They work with staff with a background in the field that can teach them best practices. Campers will still enjoy swimming and some of our general camp activities too.
Special Programs
From Family Days to Birthday Parties to Group Trips, Camp Westwood has something for everyone.
The Westwood team wants to make sure our children and guests have amazing experiences. Whether you are at camp swimming in the lake or enjoying cooking club at one of our school sites we aim to make our programs safe, enriching and fun!
