The children who attend Pompositticut are from a diverse
background of family life, customs, and ethnicity. Servicing
children from a wide range of cities & towns in Massachu-
setts, Pompositticut also has attracted campers from out of state
(Maryland, Iowa, Utah and even Puerto Rico) often while
visiting grandparents and friends in the surrounding towns. Campers have
also had the opportunity to share experiences with staff who have
specifically traveled from Ireland, Australia, Hungary, Sweden, France,
Germany, Switzerland, and Kenya to work here. This is a unique
chance for children to meet new friends from other parts of the
world. Parents may enroll a child for 2, 4, 6 or 8 week sessions
where campers participate in 8 scheduled activities. Each child
is then assigned to a color group for the entire session which
consists of a small unit of children chosen according to age and
swimming ability. Still the emphasis is to continue with the
utmost individual attention and needs of our campers.
Because of the intimate size of our program we cannot
guarantee all grouping requests. However fostering children's
relationships is important and signing up early is the only
assurance for these requests. All groups are assigned a
Jr. Leader for additional assistance during the session.
Color groups of older children enjoy increased indepen-
dence and challenges in respective activities leading to
advanced skill development and maintaining interest levels.
