About Cambridge Community Activities Program
The Cambridge CAP was established in September of 2003 as a non-profit (501C3) organization. The CAP is a separate entity from the School District of Cambridge; however the District, through the Community Services Fund (Fund 80) acts as a fiscal agent for the CAP. In addition the School District and CAP work together on many fronts and have a remarkable and established working relationship.
It is our mission to encourage and promote life-long wellness by providing a variety of high-quality recreational activities, learning opportunities, aquatics programs, and services to the broad Cambridge area community.
