Camp Sewataro Starts First Swim Season For Sudbury Residents

SUDBURY, MA — Sudbury's Camp Sewataro this weekend will open the property's beach to residents for swimming this summer for the first time since the town bought the property in 2019.

Starting Saturday, the Sewataro swimming pond will be open weekends until Sept. 2. Swimmers will have to sign up for spots in advance across two separate morning and afternoon sessions. Each session will be limited to 100 swimmers.

Residents can sign up for swimming spots open this weekend here. Registration will be open Monday to Thursday before each weekend. The swimming sessions will run 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m. There are a lot more sign-up rules, which you can find here.

Sudbury voters elected to buy the Sewataro property in 2019 for $11 million. Following the purchase, the town hired Camp Sewataro LLC to oversee the property and run the camp, and the company has a contract to do so through 2027. The property is used as a day camp during the week.

Sudbury's other swimming option at the Atkinson Pool is also open right now. Find details on hours and fees on the recreation department webpage.
