This year’s April Vacation Camp was an action-packed week, full of fun and friendships, featuring plenty of outdoor games, imaginative play, crafts and nature-based activities!
Our vacation campers made use of the entire campus, and enjoyed engaging with each other in this year’s themes, which included “Bubble Fun,” “Earth Day,” “Ice Cream Social” and “Baseball Day”…
Fair Acres was so happy to be able to offer our Learn-to-Skate program again this year!
This program took place on Tuesdays throughout the month of March at the Hyannis Youth and Community Center. The Pre-K and Kindergarten students traveled by bus to the rink (the bus ride was a huge highlight for the children!), and after lacing up, took to the ice to embark on the adventure of developing their ice skating skills together.
After the first couple of weeks, all of the children were off skating independently, no longer needing to reply on crates for balance. We were amazed by their progress, as they proudly demonstrated their skating abilities!
Our Learn-to-Skate program provides for a whole lot of fun, but also supports our goal of encouraging the development of very important skills, as well as physical activity. Preparing to ice skate requires many fine motor skills, including zipping jackets, tying skates and putting on gloves, and skating improves posture, balance, flexibility and coordination, while enhancing muscle strength and endurance.
Fair Acres is very proud of the long list of alumni, who have gone on to become hockey players and figure skaters, and we are very grateful to our staff, parents, and grandparents, who shared their time and talents with us, to help make this program a huge success!

“We feel that our son’s academic and social growth at Fair Acres since Preschool and now ending his tenure here in Kindergarten has improved exponentially! He went from being a socially shy and academically apprehensive child to a confident, happy and academically flourishing child.”
“My daughter has improved immensely so far. She is reading on her own, speaking Spanish, counting, knows the months in order and more. As well as academically, she has also grown emotionally which is just as important. I don’t have to fight for her to go to school. She wants to go on the weekends. This shows me she is really enjoying it as well.”

We have been very busy this winter preparing for a wonderful and fun-filled summer camp program for the summer of 2023. Our goal is to create a positive experience that will last a lifetime for our campers and ensure a summer of “good ol’ camp fun”. Fair Acres Summer Camp will be offered to children ages 4 – 12 and will run for (4) two-week sessions beginning July 3rd. The camp program begins at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 3:30 p.m.
The program for the summer months has been designed to utilize the eight-plus acres that encompass Fair Acres. The country setting offers large green lawn areas, fully equipped playgrounds, two pickleball courts, a basketball court, a putting green, a ball field, and plenty of woods for exploring nature. We are excited to bring our popular GaGa pit back to summer camp this year. Our campers will enjoy teaming up with their fellow campers for some friendly competition during this kinder gentler version of dodgeball. Gross motor skills along with sportsmanship will be a key part of this fun activity.
The area features spring-fed Shubael’s Pond. Its sandy bottom and gradual depth are the perfect location for swimming and fun-filled water activities. Emphasis will be on physical development through gross motor skills, arts & crafts, swimming instruction, nature, music, and plenty of camp fun. Fair Acres classroom buildings are spacious facilities that are utilized on rainy days and for special activities.
Fair Acres Summer Camp is staffed with hand-selected, qualified persons from all over New England. Our staff is rigorously trained and thoroughly understands the individual needs of each camper. Most of all, they are enthusiastic, energetic, and excited to work with your child to develop their full potential.
Come join us this summer at Fair Acres for all the fun a child can handle! We are looking forward to sharing a great experience with you and your family.
See you this Summer!
