Belmont Day Camp provides exciting summer adventures for children aged 3 – 15. The camp strives to be a reflective community of role models that create a caring environment. Campers will grow safely as individuals, take risks, engage in meaningful connections, and create lasting memories. Belmont offers one-week and two-week sessions from June through August.
Campers are placed in groups of 10-18 individuals based on grade level. The number of activity choices offered to campers increases as kids get older. All groups participate in morning swim lessons and an afternoon free swim period. The oldest group is for students entering 8th and 9th grade who are interested in the counselor-in-training program and are placed following an application and interview process.
