Organized by the Coalition for a Better Blue Hills, BlueHillsFest invites the public to explore the area and learn more about what the Coalition’s member organizations have to offer throughout the year.

Community, Tranquility and Environmental Stewardship

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 during the summer season 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.
