At Boston Explorers, the city is our campground.

A skilled staff leads the way, but kids take command of the explorations with their enthusiasm and imagination. Explorers go to the tops of tall buildings, row boats in the Boston Harbor, explore secret spaces, and learn about Boston's amazing history. We emphasize the natural process of play and creativity, drawing on a kid’s sense of wonder to discover their neighborhoods in new and different ways.

Our goal is to inspire a sense of civic engagement, adventure and curiosity that will last a lifetime.

We follow your interests to help frame daily activities and explorations.

At Boston Explorers, children have time—and the choice—to play. Their imagination is the conduit to all forms of unstructured play and camp projects. In an inter-age, electronic-free setting, Explorers make their own choices. Woodworking, art and building projects, cooking, old school games and puzzles—creative and purposeful play is what we do! Games of touch football, tag and hide-and-seek could break out at any time.

Children are encouraged to explore, create, and try new things.

 

Boston Explorers [is] about four things: we make things with our hands, we explore Boston, we have fun, and we are kind to everyone. Boston Explorers is an amazing place for kids.
