Join us for a fabulous 4th at Ponkapoag Camp!
This coming Saturday is the 4th of July, and we would like to invite all of you to celebrate at Ponkapoag! Starting at 2:00 we will be having some old fashion games, including fun with water balloons, all sorts of races, the cherry spitting contest and of course the pie eating contest. At 6:30 we will have a big potluck dinner.
Please call or text 781-961-7007 for the gate combo and to give us an idea of how many guests to plan for.
Cabins are still available if you are interested in spending the full holiday weekend at camp – check out the partial week reservation options on the Ponkapoag Camp website.
AMC Ponkapoag
The best of both worlds! Spread along the banks of a 230-acre Ponkapoag Pond in the 7,000-acre DCR Blue Hills Reservation. The camp offers a wilderness experience just 15 minutes from Boston. Rent a cabin or campsite for a week, or just come spend the day. Here you’ll enjoy a rustic environment, be able to help preserve this critical area, and have the chance to volunteer to keep the Ponkapoag spirit alive!
VISION STATEMENT:
AMC’s Ponkapoag Camp, a purposefully rustic campground located in Greater Boston, will foster a deep connection to nature for the region’s diverse population.
MISSION STATEMENT:
Our mission at the AMC Ponkapoag Camp is to create:
- Direct experiences with nature on a personal level
- An inclusive community through affordability, outreach and accessibility
- Environmental stewardship and advocacy for nature generally and the Blue Hills Reservation in particular
- Connection to and promotion of the values of the AMC
We aim to provide a transformational experience that encourages campers to become volunteers and advocates for themselves, their community, and the natural world.
