Summer at Lesley Ellis is where friendships deepen, confidence grows, and every week brings a brand-new adventure.
From June 15 through August 14, 2026, Lesley Ellis Summer Camp offers flexible one-week sessions packed with creativity, exploration, laughter, and hands-on discovery. Whether your child joins for one week or several, they’ll be immersed in engaging, age-appropriate programming led by the experienced educators and dynamic counselors who make Lesley Ellis such a special community.
The youngest campers, Young Adventurers (entering Preschool and PreKindergarten), explore weekly themes through cooking, art, science, construction, imaginative play, and joyful outdoor time. Junior Discoverers (entering TK and Kindergarten) dive into two exciting themes each week, building friendships while discovering new interests and talents.
Pathfinders (Grades 1–2) enjoy daily specialist programming, swimming at the Beede Center in Concord, and exciting Friday field trips to destinations like the Museum of Science, the New England Aquarium, Franklin Park Zoo, and local farms. Senior Explorers (Grades 3–4) continue the adventure with skill-building activities, games, and theme-based programming that encourages independence and teamwork.
For older campers, the adventure expands even further. Pioneers (Grades 5–6) embark on daily trips throughout the Greater Boston area, hiking, exploring museums, enjoying water adventures, and more, all included in tuition. Trailblazers (Grades 7–8) take on daily regional excursions across Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and Maine, with select weeks featuring unforgettable overnight camping experiences.
Looking for something specialized? Enrichment Camps offer exciting opportunities to dive deeper into passions and new interests. Campers can sharpen their strategy with Chess Wizards, launch a mini-business in our SPARKS Lemonade Stand entrepreneurship camp, step into global diplomacy with Model UN, explore leadership and service in Global Citizen Camp, immerse themselves in outdoor art and hiking adventures, or take the stage in the three-week Music Theater production of Shrek Jr. From science experiments to wilderness skills, every program blends skill-building with pure summer fun.
Safety and community are at the heart of everything. The camp is staffed by Lesley Ellis educators, experienced counselors, activity specialists, and a dedicated camp nurse, all committed to creating a joyful, inclusive environment where campers feel known, supported, and inspired. Late Afternoon Fun is available daily for families needing extended hours.
Most weeks are already filling quickly, and space is limited in several programs. If you’re looking for a summer where your child will try new things, make meaningful friendships, and head home each day with stories to tell, Lesley Ellis Summer Camp is the place!
