Mount Ida College hosts the Mt. Ida Summer Day Camp, situated on the school's 85-acre campus. It considers itself a traditional camp whose mission is to "strengthen gross and fine motor skills, self-confidence, and the social development of each camper." Activities include sports, music, drama, arts and crafts, and more. The program emphasizes use of its two outdoor pools, offering swim instruction at all levels.
tips:
The camp is accredited by the American Camping Association. Extended day options are available.

Note that as of the summer of 2012, this camp is only for ages 3-5 or so. My 13 is very disappointed not to return! The 5 stars I assigned do not apply; I am not familiar with the camp for the little ones.
