Game On!
We’re stuffing this week with the kind of “real” sports kids of all ages want to play: basketball, field hockey, volleyball, touch-football, track & field, tennis and more. We create an encouraging environment for 4 to 8-year-olds to explore their athletic potential, instilling basic techniques, team support, and plenty of smiles.

Ages: 4–8
Cost: $450 (Half Day: $299)

Charles River Rapid Soccer Academy
Our most popular mini-camp returns, promising soccer overload for all. Campers will enjoy the first glorious days of summer vacation out on the fields with soccer guru, Enrique Polletta, and his crew. Perfect for players of all levels, we’ll focus on improving individual technique, skill development, and the fundamentals of team play, challenging each camper to expand his/her athletic horizons. For variety, the afternoon sessions include an exhilarating mix of field games such as soccer-golf, capture the flag, and relay races.

Mad Robotz
Robots are taking over the world! Campers learn how to build and control them before it’s too late. Expert instructors from the Harvard and MIT community take our mad scientists through the nuts and bolts (literally) of designing, programming, testing and mastering the machines. In this infectiously fun week, hands-on exploration reaches a whole new level.  No previous science or robot experience necessary. Our Mad Robotz campers from last summer are encouraged to return to build on their existing skills and creative engineering know-how.

When: 9am–4pm
Ages: 8–13
Cost: $450 (all materials included)

We’ll fill our backpacks with journals, musical instruments and art supplies, setting off to discover the alchemy of art and the great outdoors. Resident art lover and life-long explorer, Sylvie Essex, leads a lucky group of dreamers into New England’s playgrounds of imagination. Artists, poets, songwriters, and adventurers welcome.
