Vertical Tabs

Camp Frank A. Day invites you and your family to experience all that CFAD has to offer...Enjoy meals at the dining hall, try your hand at Gaga bBall, go for a swim at the waterfront, relax by the fire pit, lose yourself in a new craft or call dibs on the top bunk!

Enjoy the excitement and memories of overnight camping together at Family Camp!

Family Camp at Camp Frank A Day is a true family fun experience. Come spend 3 nights at camp on our wonderful 65 acre camp on the shores of Quacumquasit Pond in East Brookfield MA.

We will start our Family camp adventure with an opening campfire with smores to gear you up for a full weekend full of activities like arts & crafts, archery, waterfront activities, and much much more! As a family participate as much or as little you would like. Get the opportunity to enjoy camp at your own pace “among the trees” and “on the shores”. We will have an all-camp event every night to come together as a community. Talent shows, Capture the flag, and minute to win games are just a few events we will have for families to enjoy. One staple that will happen every night will be a Camp Fire, nothing says camping like hanging around a camp fire every night!
