In the magical land of Massachusetts, affectionately nicknamed MA by its inhabitants, lay a multitude of mystical bodies of water - vast, shimmering lakes, churning, frothy rivers, and serene, tranquil ponds. This land was frequented by a group of adventurous, fun-loving kids, fondly known as the ‘Water Wizards of MA.' Now these Water Wizards were no ordinary kids. Rumor has it that they were bestowed magical aquatic abilities by a mystical clam named Captain Clamshells. And boy, did they know how to put these powers to good use! They could swim faster than a school of fish being chased by a hungry seal, dive deeper than the most daring dolphins, and could splash around creating water tornadoes that reached up into the clouds. Their favorite pastime? Navigating the roaring rapids of the Charles River on their magical sailboats, which would shape-shift into speedboats or paddleboards at their command. They held epic, laughter-filled water fights, where they'd conjure up gigantic water balloons and launch them at each other, only for them to explode into a shower of glittering bubbles. The Water Wizards were also known to indulge in a friendly race or two around Cape Cod Bay, zipping through the water with the agility of sea otters, leaving a trail of rainbow-colored water in their wake. They could even walk on water when they wanted to, prompting seagulls and ducks to give them a standing ovation. The residents of MA often chuckled, watching their antics from the shore. For in this enchanting state, the Water Wizards were the heart of aquatic joy, lending a sparkling touch of magic to the MA waterways.

Parents Magazine is excited to introduce Camp Arrowhead, a summer camp in Natick, Massachusetts, specifically designed for kids and adults with special needs. Camp Arrowhead offers six weeks of day camp, with registration first awarded to Natick residents and then the remaining spots through a lottery for out-of-towners. The registration process is completely submitted online. The camp runs from 9:00am to 3:00pm five days a week, with groups of ten campers spaced out per regulations. Campers participate in some activities as part of their groups, while other activities are done as a camp. Each camper is paired with a one-on-one buddy, either provided by the camp or one that parents can provide, to provide companionship and assistance as needed. If a camper requires full assistance in the bathroom or changing clothes, a one-on-one buddy must be provided by the parent. Camp Arrowhead provides a safe and supportive environment to help kids and adults with special needs have a fun and fulfilling summer experience.
