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.
