Camps with climbing & ropes in Rhode Island

$250/week

A budget-friendly, scholarship-supported day camp on a 95-acre riverside site in Saunderstown, running 8 one-week sessions at $250 each. It's a nonprofit community camp built around broad accessibility rather than a specialty niche, and — beyond the low weekly price and scholarship availability — publishes little about staffing or enrollment size.

As published: $250 per session (8 one-week sessions over the summer); "generous scholarships available"

Ages 5–18

One of the oldest Girl Scout camps in the country (founded 1921), on a 173-acre property on Larkin Pond in West Kingston, offering both day camp and a 6-day/5-night residential option, with sliding-scale pricing from $250 to $700 per session. Counselor training covers safety protocols, age-appropriate supervision, and abuse-prevention/reporting, and the camp leans on a loyal returning-counselor base.

As published: Published session range: $250 (3-day mini-camp) to $700 (full week, 6 days/5 nights residential); day camp runs Mon–Fri, 9am–4pm; $35 non-refundable registration deposit; financial assistance/sliding-scale fees available

Ages 4–15 · $260–$375/week

A traditional YMCA day camp on 87 lakefront acres in Coventry, offering a spread of tracks — half-day for ages 4–6, a traditional full-day program, an "immersive" option, specialty camps, and a Leaders-in-Training pathway — at weekly rates roughly $260–$375. It reads as a large, activity-rich, classic YMCA outdoor camp, though the branch publishes little about staff hiring, training, or overall camper capacity beyond noting that specialty instructors have relevant field backgrounds.

As published: Traditional Camp $355/week; Half-Day Camp (ages 4–6) $260/week; Immersive Camp $375/week; Specialty Camp $375/week; Leaders in Training $355/week

Ages 3–15 · $145–$345/week

Member/non-member tiered pricing and the CIT leadership program are its most distinctive published features; camp size and staff-training detail aren't published.

As published: Per week, member/non-member: Traditional $255/$305; Curious Minds $270/$320; Aquatics $280/$330; Gymnastics/Ninja/Outdoor Adventure/Sports $280–295/$330–345; Golf Clinic $210/$260; Rackets Clinic $210/$260; Counselor-in-Training $140/$165

Ages 3–17 · $250–$475/week

A private-school-run day camp in Barrington with an optional afternoon add-on, plus premium residential programs (English Immersion, Chess Camp) for ages 11–17 costing up to $7,450 for three weeks. It emphasizes small, "focused" camps staffed by teachers and trained junior counselors, and notably draws over 75% of its campers from outside the St. Andrew's student body — a program built to serve the wider community, not just its own families.

As published: Two-week session: $2,310 total (per published 2026 rate), $500 non-refundable deposit; Early Bird pricing available for registrations before Jan. 1; 5% sibling discount
