BRIEF CAMP DESCRIPTION: Sewataro is a dedicated summer day camp rather than a school operating as a summer day camp. The directors work year-round, planning and developing summer programs for campers to enjoy in the great outdoors. Screen time is replaced by time spent in natural surroundings.
All the programs center on having fun rather than being the best. Campers are encouraged to leave their comfort zones and try something new. Ideally, each camper should realize, "I am a capable person! I can tackle anything I put my mind to." By overcoming new challenges, children gain confidence because they believe they have something valuable to offer others.

The Spirit of Sewataro creates memories that last a lifetime. Values such as teamwork, fair play, cooperation, and sportsmanship, are instilled and encouraged. This builds self-confidence and a sense of community, resulting in children who come away feeling good about themselves and believing they have something valuable to offer others.
Lunch service is available. Bus transportation is available from Boston, Cambridge and the MetroWest area. Our campers gather from as close by as Sudbury, Weston, Wayland, Winchester, Concord, Lexington and Brookline, and as far away as Beijing, South Korea, South Africa, Mexico and Columbia.
CAMP LEADERSHIP CIT/LIT PROGRAMS: Sewataro’s Counselor-In-Training (CIT) program is a two-year leadership program for young adults who are interested in becoming camp counselors. Participants attend one four-week session each summer.

Our Easy treks are extremely easy in terms of daily mileage and terrain and will attract slower riders. For our Challenging treks you need to be in good shape and enjoy bicycling. We have had many first time riders do challenging treks and this is for those eager for a challenge.
Any teenager can enjoy one of our summer bike trips. We love a good challenge and we encourage teens to be ambitious, but we keep things fun, too – there’s always time to stop for ice cream, enjoy the scenery, or check out an awesome local restaurant or historical site.

BRIEF CAMP DESCRIPTION: With something for everyone, The Goddard School’s summer camp is powered by STEAM and fueled by fun!

We offer a range of activities such as sports, arts and crafts, chess, water play, entertainers, in-house field trips, and more to pique the interest and curiosity of every child.

We have integrated this philosophy into every aspect of our summer camp to foster play-based learning opportunities both inside and outside the classroom.
