Campers and Parents: A Lifetime of Memories starts here! Nestled in 116 beautiful acres in Hopkinton, our summer day camp is the perfect setting for wonderful summer memories.  Our highly motivated staff enjoys sharing their enthusiasm of day camping with your child or teen.

All of our camp programs are designed to help children ages 3 to 15 develop a sense of self-worth, social skills and to explore in a fun, healthy and supportive environment.  We offer traditional, specialty, and teen camp programs.   

Traditional camp activities include archery, arts and crafts, canoeing and kayaking, drama, low and high challenge course, outdoor skills, music, nature, sports and more.  In addition we also offer a traditional Sports Camp where campers learn skills, drills and game play of a variety of sports and a Discovery Camp where exploration is endless in learning about science and nature.  All traditional camp program participants will receive swim lessons and recreational swim daily.

Specialty camps focus on the sport or activity of the camp for the entire day and include recreational swimming.  Specialty camps for 2010 include Circus Arts Camp, Drama Camp, Gymnastics Camp, Robotics Camp, John Smith Soccer Camp, Fort Building Camp, Horse Camp and Engineering with LEGOS.

Teen and Leadership programs encourage the acceptance of responsibility in those young men and women who are ready to begin the transition from camper to leaders and future staff members.  Programs include Adventure Plus (Completed grades 7-8) and On the Road (Completed grades 7-9).  We also have a Counselor-In-Training (CIT) program for teens that have completed grades 9 or 10.  This is a volunteer program that participants must apply for and be accepted in to.   

Morning and afternoon extended care programs are available at camp and at our Framingham Branch.  Busing is also available as our bus routes service the towns of Ashland, Framingham, Holliston, Hopkinton, Marlboro, Medway, Milford, Natick, Sherborn, Southboro and Sudbury.  

We will be holding several Camp Information sessions throughout the winter and spring.  Dates, time and locations are as follows:  

January 26, February 10, and March 17, 7:00pm in the Annex building at camp in Hopkinton. 

March 2 and April 6, 7:00pm in the conference room of our Framingham Branch.
