Welcome to The Swellesley Report’s Summer Camps & Programs page, where you can find camp experiences for your child in Wellesley and beyond.
Thanks to NEOC for their swell sponsorship of our Summer Camps page. NEOC sparks and stokes the excitement, discovery, and fun children have while outside and builds their understanding of nature, where kids explore and play outside at an easy pace, without any technology at all.
Contact Deborah for more info on inclusion of your camp located in Wellesley or elsewhere (programs must be in-person), or for advertising on Swellesley. Camp parents and guardians: Please let camps know that you found them here, if you did…thanks.
