Mission Statement
Cambridge Camping provides engaging and enriching experiences that narrow the summer achievement gap between low income children and those who can afford traditional summer programming.
Camp provides...
Cambridge Camping offers day camps and overnight partner-camps provide traditional camp activities to children with limited access to these opportunities.
Camp addresses social and community challenges during the summer when many unsupervised, at-risk children struggle with the temptations and strains of inactivity and peer pressure. Camp provides an ideal setting for building friendships, interacting with nature, and developing healthy behaviors.
Camp promotes outside activities that allow children to unplug from technology and plug into the world around them — making authentic human connections and encouraging their innate curiosity of the natural world. Children enjoy opportunities for hiking, swimming and canoeing, as well as the freedom to run and play, make up original games and discover the pleasure of digging in wet sand.
Our programs are...
Cambridge Camping Association administers two day camps, a counselor-in-training program and an overnight camp referral and placement program. Cambridge Camping makes camp financially possible for hundreds of low-income children whose lives are limited by circumstances.
Children and youth come to camp from challenging social and economic backgrounds, eager to play and make new friends, ready to try new things and discover gifts they didn't know they had.
