Each morning begins at 9:00 a.m., with a safe and distanced car-line drop off. Starting at 8:50 am, one of Blithewold’s staff members will be eagerly awaiting your arrival in front of the carriage house barn doors. Please stay in your vehicle and pull your car around to wait in the line, it should not take long as we only have 13 campers! A temperature will be taken and parent will sign each child in for the day. The child will be greeted by our friendly counselors and activity will begin right away. Please wear a mask!
Afternoon pick-up is at 3:00 p.m. As early at 2:45 pm, a staff member will be waiting in the car line to sign out your child. We will bring your child out to the car. Both drop-off and pick-up will be in the same area outside of Blithewold’s restored Carriage House, a barn-like building located next to Blithewold’s parking lot. We ask that parents please be punctual; Blithewold staff cannot easily accommodate early or late arrivals/departures unless we are notified in advance. A photo ID will be required to sign out each child.
If your child can not attend camp due to illness or other reasons, please call us no later than 10 am at 401-253-2707.

My name is Poe Johnson and I’m so excited to be freshly recruited to the Camp Sequoia team. I’m a long time resident of Rhode Island with a strong passion for youth outreach, advocacy, and environmental sustainability. Raised by a National Park Service ranger and a teacher, I learned the importance of fostering a strong relationship with the natural world at a young age. Formerly, I’ve been a camp counselor at W. Alton Jones in West Greenwich and a teaching assistant at The Met High School in Providence, Rhode Island. I’ve also worked with multiple non-profits in Providence while pursuing my BA in Public Relations at Rhode Island College. I’m thrilled to utilize my experiences and enthusiasm to provide a safe and immersive learning environment for our young explorers. With summer upon us, I’m looking forward to a fun and restorative camp season on the Blithewold estate.
