Wayside Athletic Club
Private
Wayside Athletic Club is a private health and fitness club in Marlborough, not a summer camp. Its Summer Club is a seasonal membership running late May to early September that gives families pool access rather than a supervised camp day. Youth offerings are instructional: swim lessons with certified instructors for beginners through advanced swimmers (open to non-members as well as members), the Wayside Waves swim team for ages 5 to 18, and a junior racquetball program of lessons, clinics and open play for ages 5 and up.
The practical details
We list only what the camp itself publishes, and programs change — dates, prices, ages and availability can all move after we check. Confirm the details on the camp’s own website and contact Wayside Athletic Club directly before you register or pay. Last checked August 2026.

The badminton club is a great place to train and play badminton. The two head coaches are super dedicated and have a comprehensive plan for each of their students. There are great variety of players across different age groups and skill levels. You can easily find enough comparable kids to train and making friends with.

Our family started the membership at wayside one year ago, it offers everything that we expected: pool for swimming, gym of physical exercise and courts to play racket sports with friends. The owner and staff have kept the place very clean and are constantly improving it. The gym just got upgraded with lots of new equipments. Plus, they offer the top level badminton training program for kids, and open outdoor pool during summer time. Best place for family!
