About
Since 1893, CCA has provided meaningful and inspiring experiences to children from urban and under-resourced circumstances in supportive and inclusive summer and school-year communities. For more than a century, CCA has helped Cambridge-area families send their children to camp. For over 60 years, CCA also ran its own camps alongside its scholarship program. For the past 2 years, CCA has focused on expanding its scholarship and placement program, CCAccess, to serve more children and match their needs.
