About the Alton Jones Campus
The Alton Jones Campus, located at 401 Victory Highway in West Greenwich, Rhode Island, is a university institution that has been a central part of the University of Rhode Island's environmental education and research efforts for many years. While the Whispering Pines Conference Center and Environmental Education Center have been closed, the campus grounds remain open for research projects and field work for classes in environmental sciences. The decision to cancel summer camps this year was made due to the financial pressures of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as longstanding financial issues. The campus, which consists of 2,300 acres of woodlands, farmland, and waterways, has been a cherished place for generations of Rhode Islanders to learn about and appreciate the environment. Despite the closures, the University is committed to preserving the campus's history and role in environmental education and research for future generations.

Reviews of Alton Jones Campus
"the underground railroad re-enaction was really weird. i went in sixth grade and im now in high school and still think about it."
"My son who is now 32, went to Alton Jones from age 5 until he was 13 when he attended night camp. It was such a fantastic experience and he came home at the end of every season asking if he could go back the next year. I'm so sorry to see that it has closed, so many children who will never get to love it the way my son and his friends did."
"This camp is amazing, when your kid attends call they will learn so much about animals, nature, history, and more. They great experience what it's like to garden, go on hikes in the woods, interesting facts about farm animals, and loads more of fun."
"I don't think that I will ever be able to express how much I love this place. I attend Alton Jones in 6th 7th and 8th grade with my school. They have so many fun programs available as of my favorites were living history ,predator-prey ,and underground railroad. The cabins are very clean and mostly newly renovated. They serve good food family style at 8am 12noon and 5pm with a snack at 7:30pm. I hope this review was helpful."
"Went to Alton Jones as a kid and now my kids go there! Some things are exactly as I remember them and the new additions like the teen adventure camps are amazing opportunities. The best part about camp is letting the kids go off on a new adventure without the Spectre of their parents looming over them. They gain independence, and self reliance, they unplug and at times they get uncomfortable both physically and mentally. Challenges they aren't always faced with these days."
