Museums: Participants will visit a variety of museums in the Boston area, spanning a range of enriching topics such as art, technology, local history, and natural sciences. They will learn to work on museum manners, traveling with a group, noticing, listening, and following a group plan.

South Shore Beaches and Old-Fashioned “Swimming Holes”: Kids will look forward to a day at the beach- swimming, hunting for rocks and shells, learning about aquatic creatures, building colossal sandcastles as a group, or relaxing in the shade.

Fun!: Some days are all about fun, and answering the age-old question: “Are we there yet?” We are not afraid to travel just a bit farther than usual to enjoy amusement park and water park destinations on Cape Cod and in Southern New Hampshire.

What supplies does my child need?

Most supplies are included.

Your summer mornings are busy enough. We won’t add to your stress. All your student needs to do is show up in Norwell with a book, a lunch, and a bathing suit under their clothes.
We’ll cover the rest:

• Transportation. Everywhere.

• Admission to all destinations

• Beach towels

• Sunblock and bug spray*

• Plenty of water

• A “healthy-enough” snack*

  *Healthy-enough snacks (nut free and gluten free as needed) will be provided. Families who are more comfortable sending snacks from home are invited to pack an extra large lunch. Families who have specific sunblock and bug spray preferences are asked to apply in the morning, and send their child with their own supply to carry in a backpack.

Because life happens, each participant will have some supplies from home that travel with us. On their first day of VanCamp, each participant will need to provide:

• A refillable water bottle

• A change of clothes

• An extra bathing suit

• Health, Allergies, & Medications: Children who have special medical circumstances will make arrangements with our staff. Details will be arranged after students are accepted to our program.
