General Information

Founded in 1934, Camp Farley is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization operated by the Cape Cod Camp Corporation and welcoming campers from across New England.

Camp Farley is accredited by the American Camp Association (ACA) and licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. We are committed to providing safe, high-quality programs that meet nationally recognized standards in youth development, staff training, risk management, and camp operations.

At Camp Farley, campers come for fun, adventure, and friendship, but they leave with so much more.

Through hands-on experiences, outdoor exploration, and meaningful community connections, campers build confidence, independence, leadership skills, resilience, and lifelong friendships. Our programs are intentionally designed to help young people grow socially, emotionally, and personally while discovering the joy of camp life.

Camp T-Shirts & Souvenirs

Camp Farley does not have a camp store or canteen, and campers do not need spending money while attending camp.

Families may purchase Camp Farley spirit wear, including t-shirts, long sleeve shirts, and sweatshirts to show their camp spirit and support our programs. A limited selection of items may also be available during check-in and departure while supplies last.

Campers’ camp t-shirts may be ordered directly through your camp account prior to the start of camp and will be distributed at check-in upon arrival.

All spirit wear sales directly support Camp Farley programs and operations. Please contact the camp office with any questions regarding merchandise availability or ordering.

Camp Food & Meals

Camp Farley provides three meals daily for Overnight Campers, along with two snacks each day for both Day and Overnight Campers. Day Campers should bring a packed lunch from home.

We understand that meals are an important part of the camp experience, and we strive to provide nutritious, balanced, and kid-friendly options that campers enjoy. Our menu includes a variety of fresh foods designed to support active days at camp while encouraging healthy eating habits and positive mealtime experiences.

Breakfast typically includes a hot entrée, juice, fruit, and cereal options. Lunches and dinners offer a variety of camper-friendly meals, with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches available as an alternative option when appropriate.

Camp Farley works to accommodate documented food allergies and vegetarian dietary needs whenever possible. Families are encouraged to communicate dietary restrictions and food concerns prior to the start of camp so our staff can plan appropriately.

Mealtimes at Camp Farley are also opportunities for community building, independence, and personal growth. Campers are encouraged to try new foods, practice good table manners, and participate respectfully in the shared camp dining experience.

While we do our best to accommodate dietary needs, Camp Farley is not able to provide individualized meal options beyond approved medical or dietary accommodations.
