Summer of fun!

Summer Camp at Fieldstone Farm is an exceptional experience where campers discover their unique talents in week-long day camps. Camp staff, instructors and counselors are specially-trained to provide a supportive, fun and enriching camp for children with special needs.

Camp runs Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. early June through early August.
