Fessenden Summer Camps

My son has been coming to Fessy Summer since he was five years old and he's now ten; it is the best! With engaging activities and super fun counselors and lifeguards, they go beyond just "summer camp" here. Such an awesome place!

Fessenden Day Camp is the gold standard for summer programs in the Newton area. Our two boys have attended for years and are always eager to return. The staff-to-camper ratio feels very supportive, and the variety of sports and elective activities is unmatched. The facilities are top-tier, and the organization of the camp—from drop-off to the specialized clinics—is seamless. A fantastic, reliable choice for active kids.

This will be our 5th summer in a row, which probably says it best. Our twins have had such a great experience. They come home with stories, new friendships, and a level of excitement that sticks with them beyond the summer. They have memories to last a lifetime! Jenn and the team and staff at Fessenden Summer are all so good at what they do, and it shows. It’s a fun, welcoming environment where kids can be themselves. I don’t know how they fit in all the activities into a day, but the kids come home happy, worn out, and already talking about what the next theme week might be. We’re really grateful to be part of the Fessy family and looking forward to another summer!

Our daughters have been attending Fessenden summer camp since the ages of 5 and 6 and look forward to returning every summer! We’ve always felt comfortable leaving our kids in their hands. They offer a wide variety of physical and creative activities, a strong swimming program and a good selection of specialty camps as well. We love the extended day options for morning and afternoon that are necessary for our schedules. Great staffing, well organized and our kids always come home tired and happy. Highly recommended!

Fessenden just absolutely crushes summer camp. My kids are 9 and 7 and have been going for 4 years now, and love it so much. Over time they've shifted from doing the standard day camp to more of the specialized ones (tennis, coding, theater) but always have a smile on their face when I pick em up, and always can't wait to get back the next summer. Staff are amazing. Highly recommended.
