Venture into the wilderness with your children this summer at the historic Camp Atwater. With a legacy spanning over 91 years, this residential camp is more than just a summer getaway. Catering to boys and girls aged 8 to 15, it's a veritable paradise where kids can grow physically, intellectually, emotionally, and socially. Located in the charming town of North Brookfield, Massachusetts, Camp Atwater is a haven for young explorers interested in environmental studies. Here, wilderness isn't just a backdrop, but a living, breathing classroom that nudges their curiosity and passion for nature. Camp Atwater is a proud product of the Urban League of Springfield, a testament to its commitment to shaping the leaders of tomorrow.

But there's more to Camp Atwater than its impressive credentials. It's a place that's been making summer memories for generations. As the oldest African American owned and operated summer residential youth camp in the nation, it's a symbol of heritage, resilience, and unity. So, this summer, let your children embark on a journey of self-discovery at Camp Atwater. This is more than a camp - it's a tradition, a community, and a stepping stone to a brighter future.
