Ipswich Junior Sailing offers a summer sailing program for students ages 8–16, providing instruction from introductory through advanced levels. Sailors learn the nautical skills needed to safely sail a small boat while building confidence across a variety of conditions. Through on-the-water instruction, regatta racing, and onshore skill development, IJS empowers children and families on the North Shore. The program fosters autonomy, teamwork, curiosity, and a deep appreciation for our local marine environment.

Kestrel’s Summer Adventure camps are a unique experience based on nature, imagination, and community. Our days follow a storyline into wild places where we connect directly with wildlife or learn to live off what we find around us; we explore, make things, adventure, and play.  Because of our small group and flexible approach, campers have opportunities to choose activities, to stick with a challenge for as long as it takes, to work on projects in a community, and to just take some time to sit alone listening to the forest or drawing a tree.  Friendships are forged naturally in our supportive community where we have a daily practice of valuing, hearing, and appreciating everyone for their individual contributions.

YMCA of the North Shore has seven Y locations which offer summer camp in Gloucester, Haverhill, Ipswich, Rowley, Beverly, Marblehead and Salem. With beautiful outdoor spaces for adventure courses, sports, boating, arts and crafts, and more, there is something for every child at our camps. Each day is action packed and campers learn, explore and grow while making friends and lifelong memories under the guidance of our fun, enthusiastic, and experienced staff.
