Summer Camp for Grades K-7: Make New Friends and Learn New Skills
At the summer camp at the Groton Country Club, children who have completed grades K-7 participate in a variety of sports and activities including, but not limited to, golf, swimming, pickleball and team building skills. Our day campers develop self confidence, learn fair play and benefit from daily social interaction with their peers. We welcome all children of different skill levels and athletic abilities in a summer experience that is safe and fun!
Healthy snacks and lunches are included! We aim to make parents' lives easier. Get your summer camp on for the whole family!
