Summer Camp

The Town of Greenfield’s summer day camp is a huge sold out hit every year with its 5-week, morning format and a full array of traditional activities.

What It’s Like

Campers spend 8:30 a.m.- 12:30 p.m. at the Maple Ave. Middle School, on Route 9. Activities include rotating stations of fun, featuring such things as obstacle courses, hiking, gardening, Taekwondo, arts and crafts, as well as many organized games and sports like soccer, flag football, kickball and more. Campers participate in themed days like “Super Hero” or “Hat Day” and painting, tie-dying and rock climbing. They receive weekly visits from Uncharted Wild LLC to encounter live wild animals, regularly scheduled “Water Days” for splashing around and even the chance to pal around with some local llamas. Rainy day activities bring the children inside to the school’s gymnasium and cafeteria. Fridays often end each week on a sweet note with ice cream treats.

More Details

Students who have completed Kindergarten to age 14 are welcome and will be supervised with a 2:10 counselor/camper ratio. The camp features 30 trained camp counselors, most of whom once attended this camp themselves. Parents can choose early drop off for an additional cost and all students are eligible for the town’s Free Lunch Program, daily on-site after camp. Signups open in March to Town of Greenfield residents, and in April open to the public.

Signups start for 2024 ($100 per week for residents) on March 1. SCHOLARSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE BY CALLING OUR REC DIRECTOR JEN ZEISLER, 518-893-7432, EXT. 307. This camp sells out every year, so sign up early. There are five available weeks. You may sign up for as many as you would like.

Signups for non-residents begins March 11. Cost per week for nonresidents is $135.
