Day and specialty camps at the Dartmouth YMCA share one thing: they’re about discovery. Kids have the opportunity to explore nature, find new talents, try new activities, gain independence, and make lasting friendships and memories. And of course, it’s fun too. Located on a 58 acre ecological, diverse site including a working farm, hardwood forest, and rolling green fields, Camp Metacomet offers an ideal setting for sports, nature, and creative programming. Camp Metacomet has a rich history and tradition in the day camp experience. For 11 years our camp has been developing and nurturing children into our future leaders of tomorrow. We offer a well-rounded core group of activities that nurture the potential of every child and teen that participates. Our staff team is friendly, helpful, and caring. Many of our camp staff have grown up through the camp program and have dedicated themselves to creating the same experience they had as young campers. From traditional offerings such as archery, sports, and our challenge course to more unique programs like engineering, outdoor adventure, and learn to swim camp, your child will surely learn new skills. All specialty camp participants develop unique skills through their program choice and benefit through traditional camp activities. In addition, our theme weeks and special events create a spirit that few other day camp programs can match. Each camper is sure to develop new skills while making lasting friendships that carry on throughout their lives.
