Fair Acres Little Free Library

Fair Acres Families: we wanted to encourage you to utilize our very own “Little Free Library,” located outside the Sanborn building!

How It Works: Take a book or leave a book, be sure to close the door…keep the book forever, or return it for one more!

2021 Kindergarten Community Service Project: A Huge Success!

We couldn’t be happier to announce that this year’s Kindergarten community service project was a huge success…

The children counted and organized all of the donations they collected, and were filled with such joy to be able to send the following supplies to A Baby Center last week:

  • 169 pairs of pajamas
  • 1,521 diapers
  • 90 bottles of lotion, baby wash and shampoo

They couldn’t have done it without your support – thank you to all of our families for your part in making this important initiative as impactful as it was!

A Baby Center is a Hyannis non-profit organization that helps ensure the good health and safety of babies in need on Cape Cod and the Islands.

Kindergarten Community Service Project

We are so excited to share that we will be supporting A Baby Center again this year!

A Baby Center is a Hyannis non-profit organization that helps ensure the good health and safety of babies in need on Cape Cod and the Islands.

The needs of the organization have changed, therefore we will only be collecting the following items on their behalf:

  • New baby pajamas,-size 0-24 months
  • Baby wash
  • Baby shampoo
  • Baby lotion
  • Size 6 diapers

Donations can be dropped off at the Fair Building, or Sanborn Building, at drop-off or pick-up time each day, or sent in with your child, so they may deliver your contribution.

We will be collecting donations from Wednesday, November 3rd through Tuesday, November 16th.

Thank you in advance for your support!

Fair Acres Country Day Camp runs for eight weeks, through the months of July and August. Camp opens at 7:30 am, Monday through Friday, with the camp program beginning at 9:00 am. The camp program ends at 3:30 pm. Campers range in age from 4-11 years and are grouped according to their age. Camp runs in two week sessions with most campers choosing multiple sessions throughout the summer.

Fair Acres Summer Camp is all about fun! Throughout the day, campers participate in a wide range of activities which include:

  • Swim Lessons and Free Swim
  • Playground Play
  • Court Sports (tennis, basketball, hockey, etc.)
  • “Specialty Days”
  • Water Activities

  • …and more!

Good ol’ camp fun is the main theme throughout the summer with all of our activities and programming. Campers will rotate from one planned activity to the next with their counselors. All activities are planned for the week by the lead counselors and reviewed by the camp director to ensure quality programming. Campers pack a lunch and drink daily as well as a bathing suit and towel. Fair Acres provides plenty of water breaks during the camp day and requires that all campers have sneakers to ensure their safety during daily activities.

At Fair Acres, your child will make lasting friendships, learn all about what it is to be a camper and most of all… they will look forward to coming back the next day!

Specialty Programs:

  • Color Wars
  • Water Day
  • Talent Shows
  • Private Swim Lessons
  • Campfire Nights

The Best Summer Ever:

We have been working hard all winter preparing for the “biggest and best” Summer Camp program ever at Fair Acres for the upcoming summer! 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!”

The program for the summer months has been designed to utilize the seven plus acres that encompass Fair Acres. The country setting offers large green lawn areas, fully equipped playgrounds, a tennis court, a basketball court, a putting green, a ball field and plenty of wooded area for nature. The area also includes spring fed Shubael’s Pond with its’ sandy bottom and gradual depth offering swimming instruction by Red Cross Certified Instructors. Emphasis will be on physical development through motor skills, arts and crafts, swimming instruction, nature, music and good camp fun. Fair Acres classroom buildings are spacious facilities that are utilized on rainy days and 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 needs of each camper as an individual. Most of all, they are enthusiastic, energetic and anxious to work with your child to develop to their full potential.

Come join us this summer at Fair Acres for all the fun a child can handle! We are looking forward to a great summer with you and your family.

Summer Camp Welcome Letter

Welcome to Summer Camp, 2021!

The start of your child’s session is right around the corner and we are so excited to welcome you to Fair Acres Summer Camp 2021. This summer is going to be amazing, and we need it more than ever! With that, we want you to feel comfortable and prepared ahead of time.

Below, you will find information that will help prepare yourself and your child for camp:

What should I pack?
● We request all campers bring a facial covering with them. Campers are not required to wear masks outdoors but are encouraged to wear masks when indoors.
● Nut free lunch labeled with your camper’s name and a cold pack (we do not offer refrigeration)
● Life preserver (if appropriate) for “water adventure” games. (optional)
● Water bottle
● Sneakers
● Bathing suit and towel (flip flops/swim shoes – optional)
● Change of clothes in case something gets wet.
● Sweatshirt on chilly mornings/days
● Sunscreen (please label your child’s name.)
● Your camp spirit!

Please label all of your camper’s belongings!

What should I expect at drop-off?
● Drop off is between 8:30-9:00 AM. In order to moderate the amount of traffic, we are asking you to stagger the times you arrive:
○ Last names A-L: Drop off between 8:30-8:45 AM
○ Last names M-Z: Drop off between 8:45- 9:00 AM
● You will be greeted at the entrance of the Fair Acres driveway, where I will check you in!
● I will then ask you to drive to your designated drop off location, which will be marked by a colored barrel.

What should I expect at pick-up?

● Pick-up is between 3:15-3:30. A staff member will be at the entrance of the drive-way to help guide you to the correct location.
● At this time, your child will be ready and waiting at the same designated area they were dropped off at and are now ready for pick-up (marked by a colored barrel- I will again be at the front of the driveway to guide you if you are not sure!). They will have all of their belongings with them and ready to leave when you arrive.
● Both of your child’s counselors will be available at pick-up if you need anything. I will also be available, should you need me at all.
● Again, we ask you to remain at your car, to be respectful of traffic, and proceed in a timely manner.
● We kindly ask you to be on one time for pick-up.

Who will I meet?!
● At drop off and pick up you will see the most amazing Fair Acres Team, so excited for another fantastic day of good ole’ camp fun!. We will greet you every morning and be there to tell you about our crazy adventures in the afternoon!

Meet our Summer Camp 2021 Staff here!


*** Also, as a reminder, we continue to have hand sanitation stations around camp for your
child to use throughout the day, and campers are also encouraged to wash their hands
regularly. Additionally, we sanitize and disinfect our campus each night.

Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! See you soon!
