Welcome to Camp Longfellow - Natick
Our camp runs from June 20th through August 26th. Enrollment is on a pre-paid, weekly basis. We hope this brochure is helpful in explaining the basic features of our camp. Please contact us at (508) 653-4633 ext. 217 with any quesitons you may have.

Camp Longfellow welcomes children ages 3-12 years of age. A half-day camp option is available for preschool campers only. All full-day campers kindergarten and up participate in the camp’s core activities with tennis and swimming lessons organized by age and ability. Our camper to counselor ratios (4:1 for preschoolers; 5:1 for kindergarten and first graders; 6:1 for second and third graders; 8:1 for fourth grade and up) allow for lots of individual attention.

Great Lunch Everyday
Campers are offered an array of fresh fruits and vegetables as well as sandwich fillings, pastas, salads, breads and a weekly hot lunch special. Counselors assist the campers in choosing healthy, yet very appealing and satisfying mid-day meals. A camp lunch manager is on hand to serve the needs of the children. Special dietary needs can always be accommodated. Please let us know in advance and we’ll do the best we can to meet your child’s needs.
