Camp Farley which was founded in 1934 and is independently owned and operated by the Cape Cod Camp Corporation, a non-profit organization representing Southeastern Massachusetts. The program meets or exceeds regulations of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health for operating a children's camp and is licensed by the Board of Health. Camp Farley has a commitment to safe and quality programming, and is accredited by the American Camp Association. As such, Camp Farley undergoes a comprehensive process of operational review – from staff qualifications to training to emergency management – to ensure compliance with more than 300 standards. The American Camp Association collaborates with experts from The American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Red Cross, and other youth services to assure that current practices reflect the most up-to-date, research-based standards. ACA standards are the standards for best practice in camp operations.

Camp Farley's small, family-oriented summer program has a strong environmental focus and offers comprehensive experiences in the context of a traditional camp setting. The ability to offer high quality programs at reasonable fees is made possible through the generous support of individuals and community organizations. Camp Farley offers programs and employment without regard to race, religion, sex, gender identity, or national origin.

Campers expect lots of fun and excitement while attending Camp Farley's summer programs, but they receive a great deal more. Campers learn while participating in various program activities and - more importantly - they develop self-esteem, and a positive attitude and understanding of our world. Camp Farley's programs are designed to educate and develop youth in acquiring life skills of communication, problem solving, decision making, and leadership. Groups participate together in conventional and innovative programs designed for their age and interest. Camp Farley's structured weekly format, daily electives, and visiting specialists provide a balanced variety of fun, educational activities within a traditional summer camp setting.
