Camp Cabot is a co-ed daycamp run out of the Waltham YMCA for children entering Grades 2- 5. The camp runs in 1 and 2 week sessions, and offers activities like archery, arts and crafts, dance, sports, swimming and more.

Cabot campers have the unique opportunity to develop their own daily schedule to fit their personal interests. On the first day of the camp session campers will choose activities they would most like to participate in for each of the five daily activity periods.

Campers will then spend the rest of the week participating in their chosen activities and working towards a final goal, performance, or project.

All of the activities that Cabot campers choose from are developed and implemented by our Cabot counselors. The variety of choices is endless, and can include but is not limited to jewelry making, fort building, ultimate Frisbee, dance, water volleyball, archery, lacrosse, trust games, and skit performances.

Cabot campers will have the opportunity to interact with different Cabot counselors and a different group of Cabot campers during each activity period. However, they will still have a consistent 'home base tribe' and 'home base counselor' in which they will meet with for opening and closing ceremonies, lunch, and swimming lessons. Our camper staff ratio is 10:1.
