Camp Crosby
Summer fun comes back to the shores of the Mount Hope Bay again! The EPBGC is thrilled to welcome campers back for Summer 2021 with a hybrid camp program running at both our Williams Avenue Clubhouse and our five acre waterfront camp in Bristol, Rhode Island.
This summer will look a little different at camp – in order to maintain stable pods, each group will alternate between the two locations. Days at the Clubhouse will still be full of summer fun, with outdoor play and swim daily, but will also include enrichment programs in STEM, the arts and more to make sure our campers are ready to jump back into the classroom next fall. When they head to Bristol, children will once again enjoy our traditional summer camp program with field games, nature walks, trips to shore and daily swimming in our outdoor pool.
Camp Crosby Summer 2021 program hours are
Monday – Friday from 8:30 am – 4:15 pm
Before and after camp care is available for an additional fee and extends hours to 6:30 am – 6 pm.

What are the ages for Camp Crosby?
Camp Crosby is for children 5 – 13. We do accept children that are 4 years old, if they will be entering Kindergarten in September. These ages are as of July 1st, so if your child turns 14 prior to July 1st, they will be unable to attend Camp Crosby. Campers will be placed in groups by age.
What if my child misses the bus?
On days they are being transported to Camp Crosby, buses will depart promptly 8:30am. If your child misses the bus, you will be responsible for transporting your child to Camp Crosby. No child can be left at the Boys and Girls Club after buses leave.
Do I have to sign my child up for the entire summer?
No. We know that flexibility is important to our families! You can sign your child up for just the two week sessions you want them to attend.
What if I only want to send my child for a few days a week?
You may send your child as many days during the week as you choose, however, the fees are weekly fees. No discount is given if a child does not show up for any day during the week.
What if I register for a week but my child does not attend camp?
If you would like to cancel a session’s registration you must do so in writing at the main office by Wednesday prior to the week the session begins. Refunds may be given in the event of a documented Covid positive test or documented quarantine.
Does the staff put sunblock on for my child?
Due to Covid regulations, we are unable to assist children with sunscreen. Sunscreen should be applied prior to your child arriving at camp.
Do you accept Child Care Assistance from the State of Rhode Island Department of Human Services (DHS)?
Yes! You must provide a valid certificate number from DHS at the time of registration. For more information, please see our Parent Handbook or contact Martin DeCosta at mdecosta@epbgc.org.
