Cambridge Camping Association
About
Cambridge Camping is a nonprofit that has helped children from under-resourced families get to summer camp since 1893. It runs affordable day camps and partners with overnight camps across New England to offer sessions at substantially reduced rates, so kids with limited access to these experiences can play, make friends, try new things and discover gifts they didn’t know they had. The organization sees relationships with mentors and peers as the heart of what camp provides.
Programs now run year-round. Beyond summer, Cambridge Camping offers three one-week overnight camp sessions during the February and April school vacation weeks and again in late August. Its Village Building Series brings families together for events and outings throughout the year. Families from Cambridge and nearby communities qualify based on household size and income, and staff review income documents during the online enrollment process.
