Boston Summer Camp Guide

Summer camps and holiday camps provide academic enrichment, boost athletic skills, get kids outside and into nature, encourage creativity, or just focus on fun.
 
However, finding camps, getting the information you need, and deciding on the right one for your child isn’t always easy. That’s why we have written about all kinds of summer camps, spring break camps and other vacation camps, from tech-focused programs to nature explorations, and have put them into this handy guide for Boston families.
