Our campus at the Dana Hall School in Wellesley offers campers the very best amenities to complement their program choices! The campus provides plenty of outdoor field space for traditional camp games and activities, dining hall facilities, and a state-of-the-art athletic building. Additionally, we have air-conditioned indoor facilities to make sure the camp day is uninterrupted even when severe weather passes by us.
The Shipley Center, a state-of-the-art athletic center, is home for many of our camps, including Basketball, Dance Battles, Junior Camps, Broadway Theater, Theater, and more. With over 93,000 square feet, the facility meets the needs of the entire camp community by housing:
- a 6,500 square foot Aquatics Center, featuring a 25-yard, six-lane-wide pool
- a 21,000 square foot gymnasium with two NCAA regulation-size basketball courts
- a 465-square foot, custom-designed climbing wall, which is 34 feet high and designed for six separate courses — two beginner, two intermediate, and two advanced
- two dance studios, which can also convert into a black box theater
- our main office
- our main health center
- indoor spaces for many camps when summer storms require us to head indoors
