Senior Camp

Varied interests + connected community magic = a treasured camper experience.

Our oldest campers get the most autonomy to tailor their activities to their current interests while still building important social connections within the community. With the guidance of our skilled counselors, your camper can customize their entire day with optional morning swim clinic in our heated pools, an extended morning elective, and the same series of afternoon electives they’ve enjoyed in previous summers. And to give Senior Camp even more opportunity to connect as a group, we take weekly field trips every Wednesday to kid-approved summer destinations like Canobie Lake Park, In the Game, and Water Wizz.
