Santa Camp
Presented by the New England Santa Society, Santa Camp is a relaxing and enjoyable setting for learning, fellowship and sharing. Claus & Helpers program.
While it started as the New England Santa Society school for new Santas, it has become much more than that. Santa Camp still has education as the main focus, but additional group and individual activities contribute to a unique, memorable weekend of learning, camaraderie and fun. The New England Santa Academy school for holiday performers is created and taught by New England Santa Society members.
Everyone looks forward to the day that Santa Claus comes to town. Santa on a fire truck?! Even better!
We're thrilled to welcome the great American heroes from the Greenfield Fire Department as they help Mrs. Claus, Santa, and all North Pole personnel master essential fire apparatus skills.
Learn from the professionals and discover what it takes to safely arrive to your holiday events on a fire truck, up-close and hands-on.
A huge thank you to the firefighters for sharing their knowledge, their time, and their passion for service. We can't wait for this unforgettable Santa Camp experience!
🚒🎅 Boot up—this is going to be one heck of a campfire story! 🔥
Fresh mountain air is wonderful. The scenery is beautiful. But the friendships, laughter, and shared experiences are what bring us back year after year.
We're focused on comfort, camaraderie, and Christmas magic. Up here, "roughing it" means the wi-fi is a little slow from your kayak.
Pack your comfiest snowman pants and have a cup of cheer, Santa Camp summer is here! ✨️⛺️

It's big.
It's red.
It makes a lot of noise.
and no, it isn't Rudolph after too many apples.
That's all we're saying for now. 😉

Have you ever wondered what it's like to spend a day as Santa Claus?
Or Mrs. Claus?
Or maybe you're more of a Grinch... the sarcastic, eye-rolling, reluctantly-festive type. We welcome your kind, too.
Whether you've always dreamed of spreading Christmas cheer, making people laugh, entertaining families, or simply trying something completely different, Santa Camp is a place where curiosity is encouraged and holiday magic comes to life!
You don't need a beard, a red suit, or years of experience. Just bring your sense of fun, a willingness to learn, and an open heart.
At Santa Camp, you'll meet amazing people, learn performance skills, discover new ideas, and spend time with a community that believes you're never too old (or too young!) to play.
So if you've ever thought, "Maybe I'd make a good Santa..." or "I could definitely pull off a Mrs. Claus..." or even "My inner Grinch deserves a stage..."
This might be your sign.
Come spend a few days with us. You may arrive curious, but you'll definitely head home with new friends, new skills, and a more holiday spirit than you expected! 🎅🤶💚
Step away from the daily grind and spend a few days surrounded by laughter, creativity, fresh ideas, and friends who understand the magic you bring to others all year long.
Trade your commute for campfires. Trade your inbox for inspiration. Trade the traffic pace for a summer place, where the tension slows down and the joy speeds up.
Come recharge, learn something new, and remember how much fun it is to play. ✨️⛺️🎄
Santa Campers know how to pitch to unusual clients. Why yes, we can jolly up your corporate tech retreat, host a photo shoot at your reptile emporium, and emcee your very merry vow renewal! 🎄
Santa Campers are always learning, and are using new virtual queue software. The North Pole is digital now.
Santa Campers are always supportive of new performers. Even Rudolph needed a chance! 🔴
Santa Campers know that burnout is real. We network year round, get to know each other, and Campers know we can rely on each other to fill in when we need help.
Be a Santa Camper, and let's make 2026 the best season yet! ✨️⛺️

At Santa Camp, the friendships, memories, and moments of joy don't just happen by accident—they happen because each of us contributes something to the experience.
Take the first letter of your name, and the month you were born, to see what your "chore" might be!
Whether it's inviting someone to join your table, sharing a laugh, cheering on a new performer, offering encouragement, or simply being your kind and wonderful self, everything YOU can offer as... "Snow Ball Detangler," will help create the welcoming atmosphere that makes Santa Camp so special.
Comment your chores, and join us outdoors! ✨️⛺️
