About Dexter Southfield Summer Camps
We believe that all children should be campers because the power of a summer camp experience is life changing. Summer camp builds character and self-esteem and is a great way to meet friends and, of course, have fun! The key to a successful summer camp experience is exposure to a variety of camps and programs that inspire creativity, happiness, and excitement. With program offerings available to children 3.5-13 years old, Dexter Southfield has a camp for every child. When families enroll in Dexter Southfield Summer Camp, they will receive exceptional customer service and enjoy the benefits of best-in-class facilities and a highly-trained staff. Above all else, children will laugh, learn, and grow.

Dexter Southfield’s 36-acre campus, located just five miles from downtown Boston, allows campers to try their hand at many different activities. Whether they are swimming in our on-campus pool, learning new skating drills or perfecting their backhand in the Kraft Fieldhouse and Arena, scoring goals on one of our fields, exploring the Playscape, or competing in STEM challenges in the Clay Center, the opportunities for exploration are endless!
