Activities

For more than 20 years, boys and girls, have been building lifelong friendships and lasting memories at Camp Fairyland. We offer a warm and caring family atmosphere where each child is an integral part of our camp community.

At Camp Fairyland we take pride in our beautiful facility as well as our fun, dynamic and well-rounded program. Here campers can unplug, try exciting new activities, make great new friends and gain self-esteem, all while having “the best summer ever!” Our exceptional staff is dedicated to helping the campers develop new skills, appreciate nature and thrive in their summer home away from home.
