Day Camp Program at Camp Cromwell

The Day Camp Program is available to all Boys’ Club members.  The program’s goal is to provide purposeful growth in the out-of-doors during the months of July and August. 

Through guided fun, activities and experiences, day campers are engaged in practical understandings and behaviors of citizenship, civility, demography and safety as appropriate in our diverse and changing culture.  They will have fun, build personal identity, make friends, and enjoy nature in their small, same-aged groups as they interact with each other and venture from one activity to another.

Each Boys’ Club member is a part of a small group of 8-13 other members and two Counselors.  Their small group participates in all the camp activities together, receiving special attention from their Counselors. 

There are a wide variety of activities at Camp Cromwell.  We have two swimming pools, archery, low & high ropes courses, indoor & outdoor basketball courts, athletic fields, arts & crafts, performing arts, farm animals, and nature awareness activities.  A tasty, balanced lunch is provided daily to all members. 

The Day Camp Staff consists of qualified and trained Counselors, experienced or certified Activity Specialists, and Health Care, Food Service and Maintenance personnel.  College-age or older counselors and specialists are the rule of thumb, although selected high school staff are hired.  The Staff is led by professional educators and youth developers, including the Director of Camping Glenn Oswald, a Certified Camp Director of the American Camp Association with over 30 years experience in organized camps, education and youth development.

Camp Cromwell is an American Camp Association Accredited Camp.
