Since 1924, DCH’s beloved summer camp has brought together children from Dedham, Boston, Norwood, Westwood, Needham, and beyond for traditional summer camp activities.
DCH Summer Camp offers children ages five through 11 (entering Kindergarten through 6th grade) the quintessential camp experience in convenient Dedham Square. Our gorgeous campus and pool provide a fun, safe, and enriching summer camp environment. Each camp day has traditional arts and crafts, sports, games, drama, swimming, and more.
CIT Program (14 and 15 year olds)
The Counselor In Training program is an exceptional opportunity for 14 and 15 years old who are eager to step into a leadership role but not quite old enough to be a counselor. CITs spend their summer enjoying the activities alongside the campers while learning critical leadership skills from staff and counselors.
The CIT Program begins with team-building and leadership activities before participants move on to shadow camp counselors, program specialists, and lifeguards. The program allows teens to build essential life skills like decision-making, collaboration, communication, and organization.
