Summer Camp

As of February 2022, children enrolled in our programs are only required to wear a mask if we have to bring a program indoors. Summer camp is planned to be outside unless there is a threat of severe thunderstorms. We will follow state guidelines in place at the time of camp to ensure a safe experience for all staff, campers and their families. All Massaro staff are required to be fully vaccinated.

A 1:9 teacher/child ratio will apply for children ages 4-7. A 1:12 teacher/child ratio will apply for all children ages 8-11. These group sizes will also be used to separate groups for Covid-19 safety protocols.

Children will spend the entire day outside. Please make sure they are dressed for appropriate weather (cool or warm). Closed toed shoes are strongly encouraged as campers will explore every part of the farm! Hats are recommended.

Parents can request for siblings and/or friends to be grouped together. However, camp staff reserves the right to make adjustments based on group sizes and group dynamics.

Each day begins at 8:30am and ends promptly at 3:30pm. Please do not drop children off more than 15 minutes early or arrive later than 3:45pm.

If your child requires medicine or an epi-pen for any allergies, please contact us ahead of time to make arrangements. While there are honeybees on the farm, generally they are not aggressive.

Backpacks are encouraged so campers can keep a hat, sunscreen, bug spray, water bottle, snacks and whatever other necessities on hand. We encourage you to pack lunch separately so we can store them in our cooler for freshness.

Previously our camp ran on a half-day schedule. Due to overwhelming demand by working families, we are focusing on a full day program only during the 2021 summer camp.

We ask that any family interested in a scholarship use the link provided to apply for funding from Care4Kids. We use their income guidelines to determine eligibility. Even if you do not receive Care4Kids, contact our office and we will work with you to cover the additional tuition. We seek to ensure that no child wanting to attend camp be left out.
