Cedardale/Groveland has been making the most of the great outdoors for more than 20 years. Originally a private family swim and tennis club, the facility has been continually expanded and improved to better serve its clients and campers. Today it is the premiere facility of its kind in New England. Excellent equipment monitored by a seasoned staff makes this the
summer camp of choice for youngsters aged 3 years and nine months to 12 , and the favored annual
outing site by discerning corporations.
Cedardale/Groveland is owned by Jack and Kelsa McDermott. The couple started the business nearly 20 years ago and have built it into the most well-known outing site in the Bay State. Jack focuses on the corporate outings and events side, while Kelsa takes charge as hands-on director of the summer camp program. The camp division is a long-standing member of the American Camping Association, and serves about 400 campers each week in season. Cedardale/Groveland subscribes to the nationally-known CIT (Counselor in Training) program to develop new talent and provide staff with advanced training.
Cedardale/Groveland is fully insured, holds a Certified Pool Operator’s license, and employs 12 facilities specialists to guarantee a smoothly-running enterprise.
