Director’s word
It’s been a pleasure to serve as the Bay Farm Summer Director these past few years and we are proud to provide safe, fun summer programs for all of our children. We are proud to have been able to offer these programs even in the most uncertain of times and look forward to many more years of service to your children and your families.
Bay Farm Summer is unique, not simply because of our long history, but also because of the variety of facilities and programs we offer. Our campus has an outdoor heated pool, indoor temperature-controlled buildings, a theater, a workshop, and we have more than 9 acres of woods and fields to use to our advantage. This makes it the perfect backdrop and environment to welcome our guest subject-matter experts this year, who will provide theme-specific activities every single day.
Our highly trained and certified staff are eager to welcome you back - or for the first time. We can’t wait to get started and we can’t wait to see how our campers grow in ways big and small.
We’re looking forward to a wonderful summer with your children!
