Camp Philosophy

Dedham Health & Athletic Complex is committed to teaching the importance of exercise , physical fitness , health and well being as an essential part of life.  While at The Ultimate Day Camp , children and parents enjoy our non-competitive approach to fitness.  We highlight the importance of developing skills, practicing, team work, respect for others, as well as the value of positive decision making.  These are key elements to building camper self-esteem .

Our Facilities

In addition to indoor and outdoor tennis, basketball, playing fields and other activity rooms,  campers have access to our waterpark , The Summer Club.  Campers use The Summer Club every day where they can play on the waterslides, obstacle course, wave pool and  paddle boats.  By utilizing both The Summer Club and the full range of facilities at Dedham Health & Athletic Complex, including the one-of-a-kind Downtown kids group exercise studio and “Tree House” play area, your children will stay active rain or shine

Lunch

Don’t worry about packing a lunch. We supply both lunch and snack from our on-site snack bar run by FOOODDD .& Your children will have a wide variety of healthy choices daily.

Design Your Day and 5-Day Skill Building (ages 6-14)

Increased enthusiasm, individuality and confidence are just some of the benefits of allowing campers to choose their own activities and “design their day.” Campers can customize their camp experience in two ways: First, campers can choose two (2) of their favorite activities each day, in the categories of Art, Science and Sport. Second, campers can choose to participate in one block of “Skill Building” activity time each day—building up their skills and knowledge in that specialty throughout the week.

Don’t Forget FUN FRIDAYS!

  • At The Ultimate Day Camp we celebrate Fridays with a fun theme, special activities and a pizza party!
  • Some of the themes are: Carnival, Superhero, Pajama Party, Olympics, Red Sox and much more!
