About Cathedral Camp
Our Goal and Mission
The camp experience at Cathedral Camp offers a chance to explore and expand new horizons under a carefully supervised environment. Caming is both social and environmental in nature leading to a camper's overall growth.
Our goal at Cathedral Camp is to provide a positive experience for all campers, honoring each person's uniqueness and fostering the development of new skills in as many areas as possible.
As a ministry of the Fall River Roman Catholic Diocese, Cathedral Camp strives to create an atmosphere in which Christian values are modeled by the way we treat one another and the environment in our everyday activities.
We welcome girls and boys of all races and creeds between the ages of 4 and 13 at Cathedral Camp.
Cathedral Camp is proud to be an accredited member of the American Camp Association. We also belong to the Massachusetts Camping Association.
Our Staff
Staff members are chosen on the basis of their maturity, commitment to Cathedral Camp's philosophy, desire to work with children, and skills and certification in their specific fields. Before hired, our prospective staff must submit to criminal and sexual offender checks (CORI and SORI checks), be interviewed by the camp director, and provide references.
Also, pre-camp staff training is a requirement for all staff. We are pleased to say that at least half of our staff are regular returnees. They have come to love the Cathedral Camp experience and return with greater expertise and renewed dedication.
Our ACA Accreditation
The American Camp Association is the only nationally recognized organization that establishes uniform standards for reviewing camps on a continual basis. To be accredited, camps must submit to a voluntary process of evaluation every three years on all aspects of camp life. ACA accreditation assures you of the best quality in the areas of camping most important to your child.
Cathedral Camp is also licensed by the Freetown (MA) Board of Health.
