History: Longmeadow Parks & Recreation established their Summer Day Camp programs in the summer of 1970. Since then, we have been dedicated to providing children in Kindergarten through 8th grade with a safe and fun environment for the summer.
Purpose: Greenwood Summer Day Camp provides the highest quality program that leaves parents feeling confident that their children are safe, healthy and happy during their time at camp. We pride ourselves with providing a trusting, comfortable environment where children are encouraged to develop friendships, gain self-confidence, become independent, and develop more respect for themselves and others.
Goal: Greenwood Day Camp's goal is to provide children with a safe, secure, and fun environment throughout the summer. We accomplish this through an array of activities that we base on various weekly themes, which encourage self-esteem, physical, emotional, and intellectual growth, positive social skills, problem solving skills, and creativity.
Greenwood Day Camp Staff: Day Camp Staff are required to have experience working with children in various capacities, possess degrees in Education, a related field, or currently attend high school or college. All staff members are required to attend training each summer, specifically designed for working at camp. Staff members must also be current in First Aid and CPR. You will find that our staff are compassionate, trustworthy and dedicated to working with and forming a bond with the campers.
Program Description: Greenwood Day Camp is a Board of Health licensed camp. We currently serve children entering Kindergarten through 7th grade. A typical camp day consists of swim lessons, arts & crafts, sports, group activities, STEM, and free swim. Campers are assigned to a camp group by grade, Camp Counselors are assigned to directly oversee the campers, and Unit Leaders are assigned to oversee the Camp Counselors. Groups are set as follows:
- K & 1: Children entering Kindergarten and 1st grade. Camper to staff ratio 5:1
- 2 & 3: Children entering 2nd or 3rd grade. Camper to staff ratio 10:1
- 4 & 5: Children entering 4th or 5th grade. Camper to staff ratio 10:1
- 6 & 7: Children entering 6th or 7th grade. Camper to staff ratio 10:1

Licensed Camp Requirements
The Longmeadow Board of Health requires that all participants in our licensed camps provide updated (within the 18 months preceding camp start date) physical and immunization records. You may now upload these documents directly onto your child's MyRec profile! While this is a convenient option that we are excited to offer families, please note that the MyRec site is not HIPAA compliant. If you prefer, you may still send us your child's health forms separately, and we will update their profile to enable you to enroll them.
*This camp must comply with regulations of the MDPH and be licensed by the LBOH*
Please become completely familiar with the Day Camp Parent Handbook for answers to most, if not all, other questions, and to ensure your child gets the most out of their camp experience, this summer.
