Rain, Rain Go Away!

April showers bring May flowers. Oh wait, it's only March! Hopefully, this rain will bring some beautiful flowers to Camp Day this spring (and summer).

SOAR!

In recent weeks a new pair of bald eagles have settled high above the trees on the lake. They are such magnificent creatures! Hopefully, you will get an opportunity to see them when you're at camp.

I hope this melts by June!

Thanks to the Weireter family for submitting this beautiful photo. Feel free to email your great Camp Frank A. Day photos from any season to us! We will post them for everyone to enjoy.

Golf, Anyone?

This year campers can enjoy the fun of camp and the sophisticated sport of golf thanks to our expanded partnership with Blackstone National Golf Club in Sutton, MA. Campers can learn the fundamentals of golf, including driving, putting, chipping and pitching. This program is specifically designed for junior and senior campers. Space is limited so pre-registration is required. Visit our website for details!

No Horsing Around Here

Our new horseback riding program is about fun! It's perfect for campers wanting to learn or enhance their English riding skills will learn horse safety, leading, grooming, horse anatomy, tack, feeding and stable management. This offsite program will be led by the very talented staff at Fairview Farms in Brimfield, MA. The horseback riding program is two activity periods long so campers, depending on their unit, may not have the option to select other camptivities but will have the option to participate in other activities each afternoon. This program is specifically designed for juniors and seniors. Space is limited so pre-registration is required. Visit our website for more details!

Some of the New Faces at Camp This Summer

Here is your first look at Camp Director Leah Zippin and her family--husband Mark, 10 year old daughter Tamra and 6 year old son Gabriel. They can't wait to be on the shores of Quacumquasit this summer!

We Welcome Our New Camp Director!!!

"I am thrilled to be the new Director of Camp Frank A. Day. I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you a little about myself and my family. I grew up in Swampscott, Massachusetts, a suburb north of Boston. Currently, I live in Monson, MA which is just about 25 minutes west of Camp Frank A. Day. My Bachelor's Degree is in Geological Sciences and my Master's Degree is in Education. During the year, I am the seventh grade math teacher and team leader in Monson. During my summers, I have spent time at camps in Maine and the Berkshires. In my free time, I enjoy camping, hiking, collecting rocks and fossils and spending time with my family, who will be joining me this summer. My daughter, Tamra, is ten years old and my son, Gabriel, is six. My children and husband, Mark are very excited to be part of the Camp Frank A. Day family. We look forward to meeting all of you and can't wait for the summer to begin." -Leah Zippin
