All Boy Teen Camps in New England

Summer camp offers children the opportunity to be outdoors with their friends, supervised by a community of caring adults. The American Camp Association claims that children return home from camp with improved social skills, more self-respect, a better sense of responsibility, and a better sense of citizenship and trustworthiness. In New England, many summer camp opportunities exist for teenage boys.

  1. Birch Rock Camp

They have the opportunity to learn camp craft skills, and enjoy swimming, canoeing and other traditional camp activities. All campers learn how to use knives and fire safely, then use these skills on wilderness trips, and can progress over the years through survival badge requirements. Rituals bring the whole camp together for activities and meals. Boys are grouped in bunks according to their ages, then evening activities bring the whole camp together.
