About Camp Frank A. Day:
When asked, “What is the best thing about Camp Frank A. Day?” Campers rave about their new skills—Ga-ga Ball! Parents discuss the increased confidence in their children. Campers talk about cabin mates and the sound a fisher cat makes. Parents comment on their children’s new friendships and appreciation for nature. Although, the stories and observations vary, campers and parents are saying the same thing: Camp is about connecting, learning, bonding, building confidence and having an adventure!
Summer Camp
You'll live in a cabin within a unit with nine other campers and two counselors. Each unit, filled with old and new friends, has a modern bathhouse nearby.
