Nantucket Boys & Girls Club Summer Camp
Give your child an unforgettable Nantucket summer at the Nantucket Boys & Girls Club! Campers explore the island’s natural beauty while enjoying our expansive 40,000-square-foot Clubhouse and the very best of island life. Days are filled with classic summer camp adventures - from surfing, sailing, tennis, fishing, and island exploration to arts and crafts, games, and team sports.
With access to our open field, gymnasium, art and game rooms, computer lab, and cozy reading pod, each day blends outdoor adventure with creative and active play. Whether attending for one week or the entire summer, campers build confidence, form lasting friendships, and head home with lifelong memories and stories they’ll be sharing all year long.
