All Camp fees are $195 per-week ($170 for week 2 due to July 4 holiday).
Clubhouse Camp: Weekly fees include Island Beach Ferry cost, and lunch on Friday. Additional theme-based field trips will be offered at an additional cost throughout the summer.
While we make every reasonable effort to accommodate group placement requests, specific group assignments cannot be guaranteed.
Registration Process
Current 2023 membership is required to register for camp. You can apply for membership by clicking here. After your membership status is verified, you can then register for camp. If you are unsure of your membership status, please contact Liz Galeano at lgaleano@bgcg.org at 203-869-3224 ext 100.

Counselor-in-Training (CIT) Program
This leadership program is an opportunity for youth ages 14–15 to learn about working with children and developing leadership skills in a camp setting. CITs must complete a separate application and choose either Clubhouse or Camp Simmons locations. CITs must complete online and in-person CIT training prior to start date. Space is limited, so apply early.
Complete the 2023 CIT Staff Application found by clicking here, and email to Don Palmer at dpalmer@bgcg.org.
Discounted Fees
We feel that cost should not prevent a camper from having a great Camp experience. Limited discounted fees are available to qualifying families by contacting Megan Sweeney at msweeney@bgcg.org or 203-869-3224 ext 103. A minimum of two weeks is required to process an application, and spaces are on a first come, first served basis. Apply early.
For childcare financial assistance, contact Care 4 Kids at www.CTCare4Kids.com

Once a registration is processed, any request for refunds made before June 1 are subject to a $70 non-refundable fee. After 5:00 p.m. on June 1, no refunds will be offered.
Also note that membership is non-refundable, and membership and registration are not transferable.
Thank you for your understanding and support of Boys & Girls Club of Greenwich’s policies.

Teen Camp 2023
Ages 13-15
Teen campers can dive into summer at the Clubhouse on Horseneck Lane. Teens have access to a multi-sport court, turf field, swimming pool, and game room, while also participating in weekly field trips to locations such as Island Beach, Playland and sporting events.
Camp Simmons 2023
Camp Simmons has sold out for the 2023 season.
Ages 6–12
Camp Simmons offers a traditional outdoor camp experience on 77 sprawling acres of pure wilderness on Lake Avenue in Greenwich. The property features an outdoor swimming pool, archery range and pond for boating and canoeing.
A BBQ lunch is available for purchase every day for $5 per day, in cash.
Camp Simmons Rain Days
There will be no refunds for rain days at Camp Simmons. Camp Simmons will be closed on rainy days, and parents will be notified by email at 7:00 am. Understanding that some parents rely on having their children at camp with no other child care accommodations, there will be a limited number of spaces for Camp Simmons campers to attend Clubhouse Camp on days when Camp Simmons is closed. Therefore, the weekly Thursday email will have a sign-up link for a limited number of campers on a first come, first served basis.
