When you climb the gangway to the deck, you step away from the familiar routines of school, friends, and family, and begin your own personal voyage of discovery. Your home is a magnificent 19th century-style sailing ship, cruising the New England Coast.
You become a sailor, standing watch, tending sheets, and steering your ship with pride as she scuds along before a fresh breeze. You watch whales, seals, and dolphins in their natural habitats, and observe the ocean world through hands-on investigations led by dynamic instructors eager to share their passion for ocean stewardship.

You’ll visit historic ports along the coast and her islands, including historical sites and museums, and be submerged in maritime culture through the stories, legends, superstitions, and myths of sailing ships and the sea. The rewards are found in moonlight nights with a gentle breeze…in knowing the names of the stars… and in feeling at home in the vastness of the ocean world.

You experience this voyage with strangers who will quickly become friends – friendships born through shared adventure. You become a respected member of a close-knit community, and what you learn about yourself is the true bounty of your voyage. Welcome aboard!

At The Marcus Lewis Day Camp, campers can specialize in artistic, athletic and even technology based activities that are specifically aligned with their own interests. Teens choose individually while juniors choose with their group. There are more than 100 rotating activities that are available at various times during the summer and they are taught by professionals. We are one of the only day camps to utilize a staff that is comprised entirely of adults. Our 5:1 camper/counselor ratio is based on personnel over the age of 18; we do not use counselors-in-training (CITs).

Additionally we offer a number of specialty camps: horseback, drama, tennis, sewing/scrapboking, climbing, cooking, golf and day trip adventures.

The camp operates its own buses and offers transportation service from as far east as Cambridge, north to Chelmsford, west to Leominster and south to Marlborough.

Our program reviews have been extraordinary, such that we are the only camp we know of that will offer a money-back guarantee if a camper's experience in any of our camps is less than exceptional. From 2004-2008, the program has won the Reader's Choice Award that is given through the Community Newspaper Company/Boston Herald as the highest rated program in the area.
