Established in 1886, Incarnation Camp's historic roots and strong alumni support enable it to offer the best in summer camping at a fraction of the price of comparable sleep away programs. Campers choose the layout of their day from a roster of activities including field and court sports, fine arts and crafting, performance arts, nature & farm, outdoor cooking, and more. 

All campers receive swim and boating instruction every day in the mile-long, crystal clear private lake, which is the heart of the 740-acre forested site.

Incarnation Camp believes that children should have the time to enjoy being kids. The staff believes in the importance of imagination, sleeping under the stars, getting dirt under your nails, friendship, cooking over a campfire, playing ball, molding clay, friendships, fishing, sliding down a water slide, canoeing, caring for the camp farm animals, and all the fun little details that make up an awesome childhood summertime.

Ninjas in Nature arts and outdoors adventure day camp (ages 8-12) takes place on the wooded grounds of the beautiful Nashoba Brooks School in Concord. It combines skills of nature, awareness, high-energy games, crafting with natural materials, and introductory ninjutsu—the art of the ancient ninja. Students learn a variety of hands-on wildcrafting, survival, and stealth skills from building fires, woodworking, and shelter-making to tracking, foraging, and camouflage. In the afternoons, they enjoy creative play and craft-making. Please call 978-371-0820, ext. 213 for availability.

Galoop offers unique programming and community for young children and their families. Its mission is simple: to provide a nurturing environment for young children, a curriculum based on the latest research in child development, and parental education and support. 

Galoop's full-filled summer camp is modeled on the morning program that’s offered during the academic year. Camp is designed for kids ages 6 months to 3.5 years accompanied by a caregiver and explores a different theme each week, like dinosaurs or outer space. Come ready to make solar systems, get wet with watery fun, hatch butterflies, and more.  Each morning also features exploratory play, song and story circle time, and group snack time.
