Weekend Adventures

Beyond our daily routine, weekends at camp are all about building community through unforgettable, fully supervised group trips.

  • Boston Aquarium: Campers head into the city to marvel at marine life, expanding on everything they've learned during their weekdays exploring our local bay. It’s an immersive, hands-on day where they can get up close with ocean creatures alongside their cabin mates.
  • Revolutionary Boston: History comes alive as we walk the historic streets together and discover Boston’s crucial role in America's birth. Campers will stand where history was made, transforming textbook lessons into a real-world, interactive adventure.
