Highlights from Saturday Camp, upcoming programs, announcements, and thanks to our sponsors and partners!

Saturday Camp Fun!

We kicked off the season at Danehy Park's Family Day, where campers embraced the day despite some unexpected rain, enjoying exhilarating carnival rides and live entertainment, and getting creative with arts & crafts. The sense of community and fun was unmistakable, with smiles all around!

The adventures continued with an unforgettable day of paddling with Mass Audubon! Campers paired up in tandem kayaks, paddling in sync and fostering teamwork, spotting wildlife along the way including adorable baby turtles and a majestic great blue heron! Our visit to the Stone Zoo was another highlight. Campers got up close to animals in a sensory-inclusive environment, designed to ensure all children could participate and fully enjoy the wonders of the zoo.

Looking ahead, we can't wait for more incredible outings, including rock climbing adventures at Boston Bouldering, hands-on science exploration at the Museum of Science, and creative pottery sessions at the Clayroom!

Join Cambridge Camping in volunteering between Friday, November 1 and Sunday, November 3 to pass out race bibs and merchandise in advance or lend a hand on the day of the race, and support an incredible community event!
