At MIT Day Camp, we have multiple different indoor and outdoor spaces available to us. We are based out of 120 Vassar Street, also referred to as The Z-Center. Below, you will see all of the facilities we use and what activities are played there.

Camp Facilities

Zesiger Center 50 Meter Competition Pool
- Our Z Center pool is used for swim lessons daily! Each day we have 2 blocks of swim. In the morning campers attend “instructional swim” where based on their skill level, they learn or improve skills. In the afternoon, campers attend “free swim” where they get the opportunity to play pool games or swim around with friends.

- DuPont has many uses throughout the school year, but during our summer months we focus on badminton! You can find any of our campers with a smile on their face when they’re practicing their skills on DuPont Court!

- Since at MIT Summer Camp, we are not wrestling, our campers have nicknamed this our “Dodgeball Room.” You can hear laughs down the hallway when our campers are in this room.
