Camp Massasoit is Springfield College's day camp on its East Campus, serving children ages 5 to 15 with a challenge course, archery, Project WILD, boating, swim lessons and free swim, plus arts and crafts, music and outdoor games. Campers ages 12 to 15 can instead join Walk-A-Bout adventure sessions built around hiking, orienteering, disc golf, paddling, rock climbing and mountain biking, each including a one-night overnight camping trip in the second week. Four two-week sessions run from late June to late August, 8:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., with optional early care from 8:00 a.m. and late care until 5:00 p.m. The camp states it is fully accredited by the American Camp Association, and two Sargeant Scholarships plus a financial request form are available.

★★George

This is simply a nature area and does not have anything associated with a college campus. The grounds are pleasant for a stroll when the weather is good, but the name is simply misleading.

★★★★★Jessica Holloway

This camp has been a consistent summer highlight for our kids for 5+ years now. They get to enjoy the outdoors, stay active, and develop amazing relationships with their counselors and other kids. The staff is second to none, operations for pickup/drop off and child safety is flawless, and the fun they have together is priceless. Definitely among if not the best in WMass!

★★★★★Heather Provost

This is a great place to get in touch with nature. They have trails through the woods that travel along side lake massasoit. Dog friendly!

★★★★★Geoff McKonly

Our son has gone to Camp Massasoit for three years in a row now and has had a great experience every year. The staff is very good and the activities are engaging and challenging.

★★★★★Pat Burke

A beautiful, peaceful place. The woods, the lake, the wildlife and of course the historic pueblo style architecture and original native American artwork.
