Overview
Camp Good News has been working with youth from all walks of life and from all over the world since 1935. Many of our staff attended Camp Good News as children. We have a wealth and depth of child care and youth ministry experience - all provided on a gorgeous waterfront Cape Cod property.
Camp Good News is not a traditional religious or Bible camp. Our campers come from a variety of cultural, ethnic and religious traditions. Our goal is to introduce campers to the gospel of Jesus Christ in the midst of our high quality, state-of-the-art summer camp program. Our program conveys to children that they are valued, respected, that they can try new things, and push their own boundaries in a healthy way. In a day when children have so many distractions, Camp Good News teaches traditional Judeo-Christian values in a fun, challenging, family-like atmosphere.
Our supervision of campers is excellent and carefully considered. We follow all regulations set forth by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and receive our license to operate from the Town of Sandwich Board of Health. All staff members undergo and must pass criminal background checks. They also receive 10 days of pre-camp training by licensed education and health professionals. Our kitchen serves three delicious homemade meals a day, and laundry services are provided free of charge. We have full time nurses, and our infirmary is open 24 hours a day.
In addition to the excellence of our program and the beauty of our surroundings, we have the leadership and expertise needed to supervise a safe and valuable summer camp experience. Our rates are consistent with those of traditional nonprofit residential or day camp programs (like the YMCA or 4-H). This means good common sense value for you and a lifetime of memories for your children. We hope you will join our camp family and fill out an application today.
