Climbing Camp


What better way to learn climbing than… to climb? That’s right, participants will be climbing and rappelling before lunch on day one! This program is great for adventurers interested in working on climbing skills. Participants will get a taste of bouldering, top-rope climbing, rappelling, and more. Get strong like a climber using rock-rings, balance like a climber with slack-lining, and problem-solve like a climber by stacking milk crates as high as you can!!!

Bicycle Camp


Get ready for an active, adventurous week with New England Base Camp’s Bicycle Adventure, designed specifically for youth ages 13-17! This five-day, instructor-led program will take participants on exciting cycling tours through some of Eastern Massachusetts' most beautiful areas. This program offers an opportunity to explore the great outdoors while building skills, making new friends, and having fun. Some previous riding experience required. 

Aquatics Camp


Spend the week using canoes, kayaks, paddle boards and more. Campers will spend time on a variety of different waters located around Base Camp and the surrounding areas plus activities at Base Camp.

Maker-Space Camp


Have you ever built anything cool with tools before? If you join our trained staff at NEBC’s newest program area, the “Magee Maker-Space'' workshop, you’ll get to dream big, and build… well, almost as big!!! We’ll help get you started with the dreaming, designing, and problem-solving processes required for the projects that catch your mind’s-eye.

Eagle Week


Eagle Week is a week long summer camp adventure designed to focus on a Scout's path to Eagle. Scouts will have the opportunity to work on Eagle-required merit badges. Swimming Merit Badge and other Merit Badges are decided on based on the participant's needs. 

Crossover Camp


For Arrow of Light Scouts Crossing Over and All Scouts Working Towards First Class

Friday, May 1st- Sunday, May 3rd.


The program provides a comprehensive plan to all campers, leading to completion of many of the outdoor requirements for Tenderfoot, Second Class and First Class ranks. Scouts who have just crossed over, or may be new to Scouting, will find this program ideal. The goals: to give all campers confidence in their newfound outdoor skills, and to develop a strong beginning along the Scouting trail for advancement.

Scouts and Venturers are needed to help receive and sort food donations as part of the National Association of Letter Carriers Food Drive on May 9th 1pm – 5pm. The collection takes place at Lynn Ladder & Scaffolding, 20 Boston St., Lynn.
