About Our Camps

Why Choose Our YMCA Camps

We are excited to welcome you to summer camp and the Best Summer Ever in the communities of Bellingham, Foxboro, Franklin, Mansfield and North Attleboro.

We will provide a fun and safe summer experience for your children as we have done every year, by taking the steps suggested by the CDC, Department of Public Health, and the American Camping Association to ensure their safety and well-being. We provide a place for youth and teens to belong try new things, and make life-long friends. Your children will find fulfillment through hands-on learning, and discover more about who they are and what they want to achieve during the summer and beyond.

Opportunities for Inclusion

Our inclusive camp provides summer fun options for typically developing children as well as their peers with developmental delays, learning and attention difficulties, and social or emotional challenges. We welcome children of all abilities and work closely with families to identify available strategies to work toward a fun and successful summer.

If you need more information or your camper would benefit from extra support, please contact an Integration Initiative team member for an intake interview at integration@hockymca.org.

Child Protection is Our Highest Priority

Your child’s protection and safety is our YMCA’s highest priority and has been for the last 50 years.

A safe environment combined with quality programming that incorporates our core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility, is at the core of our focus on youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. We take great pride and place great value on providing the most child-safe environment possible where children grow and thrive.

Our camps comply with Massachusetts Department of Public Health regulations and are licensed by the local board of health.

Parents have the right to review, on request, our background check policies, healthcare and discipline policies, and staff code of conduct.

A Place for All

A Place For All is our Y’s financial assistance program focused on helping community members feel hopeful, live healthier and be connected to our organization through spirit, mind and body. Dedicated to youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, our mission is to provide programs and service to all regardless of ability to pay. We believe that every person should have an opportunity to participate and pursue their own personal goals regardless of skill or financial status. To learn more about our Place for All program here.
