Dedham Health and Athletic Complex
Spend your summer with Dedham Health Day Camps
Summer camp should be fun! Give your kids a summer of adventure, friendship and fitness!
Dedham Health & Athletic Complex is committed to teaching the importance of exercise, physical fitness, health and well being as an essential part of life, and our camps are no exception.
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, and the value of positive decision making. We have something for every child!
“As an American Camping Association accredited program, it is our mission to combine safety, support & a positive environment for our campers to learn & grow.”

Our Facilities
Our campers have access to all that Dedham Health has to offer! Our campers use our indoor and outdoor tennis courts, indoor and outdoor basketball courts, playing fields, activity rooms and athletic facilities.
Each day, weather permitting, our campers use our onsite waterpark, Summer Club. At Summer Club, campers do more than swim. They play on waterslides, tackle an obstacle course and jump in the wave pool.
Of course, at Dedham Health camps, rain is no obstacle to a daily swim. In case of inclement weather, campers simply move inside to our indoor family pool!
By utilizing both The Summer Club and the full range of facilities at Dedham Health & Athletic Complex, including the one-of-a-kind Downtown and “Tree House” play areas, your children will stay active rain or shine.
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!
