A day camp with real camp traditions
Every Monday our leadership team greets new campers at the Welcome Table, just inside the gate. Fridays start with an all-camp assembly, and camp families can join Family Swim on weekday evenings. Campers try new things, make friends and keep coming back.
Our mission is to nurture and challenge children and their families on Cape Cod, welcoming everyone into our 46th season of camp.
