Safety is Our Top Priority!

Camp Middlesex has a commitment to the health and safety of all participants.  We comply with all state health codes and undergo a health inspection annually.  In addition, we are accredited by the American Camp Association.  In order to receive this accreditation, the camp must undergo a thorough review of around 200 standards outlining the safety and welfare of campers and staff.

Professional Role Models!

Our staff comes from all over the world to offer campers an unforgettable summer!  Each summer we recruit staff from the local area as well as partner with International staffing agencies such as Camp America to offer a diverse, multi-cultural, and caring environment.  We offer a 4:1 camper to counselor ratio.

All staff and volunteers have appropriate criminal background checks.  We also train our staff for 2 weeks prior to camp.  During staff orientation, counselors are trained on topics of safety, communication, community building, lesson planning, CPR/first aid, behavior management, health procedures, and more.

All of our senior staff are trained in the field of education.  A licensed RN/LPN is on site 24-hours while camp is in session.

Natural Wonderland!

Located in Ashby on Willard Brook, Camp Middlesex offers 75 acres of nature trails, cabin space, and program areas for all to enjoy!

Campers enjoy the rustic nature of outdoor living while learning about the world around them.  Each cabin has room for 8-10 campers and 2 counselors.  There are centralized bathhouses equipped with private shower stalls and toilets. We currently have an on-demand hot water system, so there is always hot water available for showers!

Food is served family style in our dining hall.  Campers sit with their cabin and enjoy meals together.  Our cook prepares home style meals for campers to enjoy.  

Our current menus are located on the forms page.  We accommodate most allergies at camp (peanut, nut, fruit, etc), but a plan may need to be developed with camp staff to accommodate other allergies.
