Our Camp Programs

Camp Wing/Duxbury Stockade Stockade

is “a safe place and supportive community for boys and girls ages 7-13 to develop healthy social behaviors and have fun.”

To accomplish that goal, campers participate in a variety of “traditional” camp activities such as instructional swimming, team sports, creative arts, and outdoor pursuits, including the climbing wall and high and low ropes courses. The program incorporates literacy development into activities such as journal writing, radio, and the camp newspaper in a way that makes learning fun. Special programs like WiredWoods (computer and multimedia technology), sailing and nautical instruction at the Duxbury Bay Maritime School, as well as special events celebrating the Olympics, Carnival, and holidays allow campers to expand their imagination and horizons to see the opportunities available to them.

Camp wing is on Boston's South Shore so has great access to Boston for Red Socks games at the famous Fenway Park, the fleet centre for Celtics games or just th explore our great city. It is also very close to Cape Cod, the jewel of the New England Coastline. Beaches, forests, islands can all be explored on a day off from camp.

Camp Mitton

This program was previously called Camp Lapham, and was in Ashby, MA. We have moved this program to our site at Camp Mitton in Brewster, on Cape Cod, which will allow for a more in-depth program, and a facility even more aptly suited to our in-crisis population. If you have questions about this transition, please call our office directly.

Camp Mitton is “a small, family-style environment teaching boys and girls ages 7-12 healthy ways to cope with stressful situations.”

Many campers at Camp Mitton have or are currently experiencing crisis situations such as homelessness, abuse, or neglect (read more). Since children in crisis situations experience a low self-image, feelings of hopelessness, and an inability to understand and communicate their personal feelings, our program intervenes by providing a safe and stable environment, a personal relationship with caring adults, and an opportunity to experience success. The daily program focuses on teambuilding and communication in a group setting. Activity groups are small and concentrate on helping the campers express themselves through a variety of outlets including outdoor pursuits (biking, hiking, and nature exploration) and the creative arts (drama, music, arts and crafts). Therapeutically focused activities in music and art increase opportunities for campers to express their feelings safely and learn about themselves. Advancing through levels in swim lessons provides campers the chance to work towards a goal and build their self-esteem. Our goal is that, as a result of our intervention programs, children will be better able to cope with their situations, have a healthier self-image, and a chance for bolder dreams

In the heart of Cape Cod, the jewel of the New England Coastline Mitton is a great place to spend a summer. Beaches, forests, islands can all be explored on a day off from camp as well as a short drive to Boston for the big city experience.

Camp Coca-Cola New England @ Camp Lapham

           This is a leadership program for young people entering the eighth grade and is dedicated to producing “great leaders for great communities.”

           Working closely with local schools, youth organizations and community leaders, Camp Coca-Cola will provide opportunities for young people to discover and explore their interests, values and talents.  Camp Coca-Cola is dedicated to fostering leadership qualities and community service in the young people it serves, through camping experience, community service, and continuing education.

           Camp Coca-Cola focuses on young people entering the eighth grade who are doing well in school, have demonstrated some leadership capability, and have a desire to succeed. However, they come from environments containing significant risk factors that may affect their school performance and ability to achieve their full potential. There are a number of other criteria for enrollment, and the program is a five-year commitment and is fully scholarshipped—there is no cost to the participant. Participants must be nominated to attend the program by a community partner who is able to provide a year-round link to the camp, the participant, and the community.

We know that choosing a camp is hard! We have staff who can help you decide which camp or program is most appropriate for you and your goals this summer.
