Activities & Typical Day at Camp

Camp James Activities

Get ready to unlock a summer of endless joy and growth for your children at Camp James – where the great outdoors is their playground for adventure! 

Camp James is a tradition of fun set against the backdrop of the beautiful Back Bay. Our mission is simple: to expose your children to a smorgasbord of activities while providing ample opportunities for skill development each summer they return. Forget the hassle of bus rides! All our fantastic activities unfold right on our grounds.

Groups are co-ed and according to age which helps create an environment where friendships flourish. Online registration allows you to select the same group as your friends and or family if desired/space available.

Our activity classes are like mini epics, running for 45-60 minutes and changing every day to keep things fresh. We aim to give each group a taste of all the activities their age qualifies for in a week. Every single day brings a water-related activity for all groups – a splash of excitement guaranteed!

While we can’t grant specific activity requests for certain days, we encourage your explorers to dive into each one. But no worries – participation is always their choice. It’s all about fostering a spirit of curiosity, exploration, and fun! Camp James is where memories are made, skills are honed, and friendships blossom. 

Get ready for a summer that goes beyond the ordinary, where your child’s journey is fueled by laughter, discovery, and a whole lot of sunshine!
