Keeping our kids active, engaged, and curious while learning new games will keep them healthy and focused on play.

Amazing Amenities

Our philosophy is to create a healthy and safe environment for all campers throughout the summer. With summers in New England ranging from super hot days to rainy days to a bit of coolness, our amazing amenities include an air conditioned dining hall and gymnasium, among other spaces. To that end, CSW Summer Camp uses a blend of outdoor activities and indoor time for everyone to cool down, snack, and eat lunch.

CSW’s chef and the staff from CulinArt prepare all meals and provide snacks for all campers. Younger campers will enjoy a family style approach with a variety of nutritious options. Older campers will delight in the large selection of options, including a hot lunch, a sandwich bar, and a salad bar. All meals will be served in the main cafeteria in the upper level of the Cheek Building. Drinks are provided in the dining hall and water filling stations are available throughout the campus. All campers are encouraged to bring their water bottles to camp each day!
