We are so excited to officially share that Lily Pads Summer Camp is back!
Our camp will run from July 6th through August 14th, with themed weeks full of hands-on activities, outdoor adventures, swimming, and fun field trips around Western MA.
Here’s a quick look at what’s coming:
Zoo Safari Week (July 6) (field trip to Lupa Zoo)
Water Wonders Week (July 20) (Field trip to Sprinkler park)
Tie-Dye Extravaganza (July 27) (Field trip TBD)
Sports Week (August 10) (field trip to Basketball Hall of Fame)
On-site pool all summer long! Weekly Town Beach visits!
Camp is open to children age 5 and older, runs Monday–Friday from 9am–4pm, and is $325 per week (field trips may include a small additional fee).
As always, we maintain:
• 1:8 ratios max
• Licensed staff with CPR/First Aid certification
• Cleared background checks
• Small group size (max 12 children)
Spots are limited and we expect weeks to fill quickly — especially Zoo Week and Sports Week — so we strongly encourage you to reserve your child’s space as soon as possible.
