Join us in celebrating over 30 years of summer camp (M-F, 9am - 3pm). Campers will rotate through one of four activities each day, and spend time outside for snack, lunch, and recess*. Presently, outdoor activities are in the front lawn as we await more information about our construction process that will be happening in a portion of the back yard.
Campers can enjoy an array of arts-based activities plus recess time! Our summer camp is designed for rising grades K-6.
Campers are grouped by grade, with limited enrollment per group. Activities throughout the camp day typically include ceramics, drawing and painting, performing arts, and mixed media "makerspace".
For younger teens, we are offering multiple weeks of our CIT Program this year. Click here to learn more.
* In the event of inclement weather such as high winds, thunder, extreme heat, etc. students will remain inside.

The MCA summer arts programming inspires your child's imagination as we have fun creating and exploring in an interdisciplinary arts environment. Each week, a new theme unites ceramics, visual arts, crafting, problem-solving, and more with age appropriate curriculum. Kids make new friends, develop their creativity, and gain confidence through sharing and cooperation. Our staff consists of instructors trained in the arts, and counselors who have an interest in the arts - many of them being former campers! All of our staff are passionate about the arts, summer fun, and safety.

Summer Camp Health Information [as of 03.2023]
|
Please know that the policies described here are subject to change should relevant health data in our community change. Our camp complies with the regulations of the MDPH and is licensed by the Lexington Board of Health. Current requirements for recreational camps are in-line with MA School Immunization Requirements.
Please email or call our office if you have any questions! Prospective camp families visiting during the summer (both out of state or country) can reach out directly to the Lexington Board of Health to confirm that their records fulfill requirements for 105 CMR 220 Massachusetts Immunization Requirements for School Entry. COVID-19 Vaccination Status
At this time, MCA Summer Camp does not require COVID-19 vaccination or proof of vaccination status for campers and CITs attending the program. Per internal policies, all staff (admin, instructors, counselors, volunteers) must be fully vaccinated again COVID-19 and able to provide proof of vaccination status before employment/volunteering. |
Required Health Documentation
As a recreational day camp program, all participants are required to submit health documentation before attending. As of the 2025 season, health information is due by May 1st and must be received before the camper's first day. MCA staff reserve the right to send camp families away if they have not provided the necessary records. When completing the registration process, parent / guardian(s) must upload a recent physical, specifically documentation with immunization records. Any health documentation submitted must be dated within 18 months to the start of camp (June 2025) and with the physician's signature. For security purposes, we cannot receive medical documents by email to staff - only uploaded digitally within the registration system portal; in the event of technical issues, hard copies delivered to our office will be accepted. |
Summer Camp Payment Information
|
Registration for vacation camp programming is made on a first-come, first-served basis. Spaces are held until May 1st, with a 25% deposit required for EACH WEEK registered. "Early bird" pricing is available for registrations completed before this deadline.
As of the 2025 season, families that have not paid before May 1st will be automatically charged on the same form of payment as the original deposit. If registering on/after May 1st, no deposits are accepted and payment will be due in full for all registered weeks. Requests to transfer to a different week of camp is at the discretion of the MCA Programming Director and Camp Manager based on availability. Transfers will not be considered unless written notice is received, ideally two weeks or more in advance of the desired week of camp. A student may register for additional weeks or from the waitlist if there is space and a separate, full payment is made. |
Note: Pricing discounts are available during registration when signing up multiple campers in your family and/or registering for multiple weeks of camp (3+). Adding a camp week or sibling later in the season will allow you to opt into these discounts, if applicable, by alerting staff. Conversely, cancelling a camp week may affect the refund amount if campers/weeks then go below the minimum thresholds for discounts. |
