About Camp Wing

wing boysCamp Wing and the Duxbury Stockade are located 45 miles south of Boston in Duxbury, MA on 220 acres of woodlands and ponds. The unique facilities, including a reproduction of a colonial fort, provide housing for 200 children each session. The combination of activities and team building activities assist our skilled, caring staff in teaching children more about themselves while having lots of fun in the process

While at camp, children have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of activities. Daily instructional swim provides the opportunity to experience success and gain a sense of self worth. During sports instruction, each child can experience many different team and individual sports, and work on skills such as coordination and team work. Each afternoon, campers can try many different activities in Creative Arts (crafts, fine arts, theater, music, radio station) and Outdoor Pursuits (climbing wall, ropes course, camping, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, archery).

Each program area encourages an appreciation of different ethnic and cultural backgrounds, and provides a literacy component that integrates our philosophy of reducing summer learning loss, while at the same time being a whole lot of fun! Older campers (12 & 13) will also have the opportunity to sign up for Wired Woods, a computer program where they can learn how to build their own website, and for the Sailing Program run by the Duxbury Bay Maritime School.

In addition to more structured activities, each cabin will participate in a camp service project where they learn to care for and respect their living environment, and a cabin challenge where the focus will be on developing peer friendships, team work and self esteem through learning games and team building activities.

In the evening, there are a variety of programs ranging from talents shows, cook-outs, team games and treasure hunts to karaoke nights! In addition, special event days such as carnival, the Olympics and the 4 th of July create an atmosphere of fun and constant variety.
