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!

The well being of each camper is paramount at Adventure Zone. Campers learn important safety techniques, and must wear protective gear and helmets whether engaging in activities such as the ropes course, rock climbing and kayaking. These are all part of the recipe for fun at AZ. But the main ingredient is the spirit of participation and enthusiasm that comes from the kids themselves. We foster an inclusive, positive environment in which each individual is empowered to contribute to the atmosphere of fun. And if the camper’s goals include having a good time, meeting new people, and trying new things.
