Each day new adventures are planned and exciting activities, games, and crafts are based around our weekly theme. Your child will spend the day using their imaginations and making new friends.
Day camp staff will pick up campers from summer school at 11:40 a.m. and lead them to “base camp” for a sack lunch. Our Day Camp activities also include weekly trips to the Cambridge Library, and Cambridge Area Community Pool, as well as frequent trips to Westside Park.
