All-new, hands-on challenges will spark their curiosity and build their confidence as they jump into limitless STEM fun with opportunities to imagine, plan, experiment and create. Read more about what your camper will do each day at camp:
PROBLEM SOLVING
Campers explore physics, design engineering and art as they build their own mini skate park, create DIY riders, personalize their mini skateboards and try out challenging features like ramps, bowls, jumps and rails.
CREATIVITY
To create an epic celebration, campers become event planners who engineer light-up party hats, use the science of color to create a bubble art banner and invent a Party Assistant to help bring their plans to life.
PERSISTENCE
Campers transform their own robot into a one-of-a-kind animatronic stuffie, and then use inspiration from nature and the power of intellectual property to protect their creation from an idea-stealing Copy Cat.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Ideas pop up as campers launch their own pop-up business, make smart financial decisions, and use entrepreneurship skills and creative strategies to attract customers with the ultimate pop-up event.
South Shore Conservatory Summer music programs
South Shore Conservatorys summer programs inspire music, dance and drama students to perfect their skills and meet students from other towns who share the same passion for the arts. Theres something for everyone at the Conservatory over the summer months. Camps including rock band camp for middle and high school kids, vocal camp and theater arts.
Cross Roads 4 Kids Camp Wing camp
Camp Wing Day Camp provides engaging activities in a variety of program areas for youth aged 5 to 16. With the guidance of our trained and supportive staff, campers explore their interests and build skills through instructional swim lessons, sports and games, team building with peers, archery, creative arts, and adventure activities including climbing, kayaking, canoeing, and ropes courses. Through their experiences at Camp Wing, campers build confidence and self-esteem, while developing their interpersonal and collaboration skills.
Camp Wing Day Camp Program Options
Grove Program
Serving campers who are entering kindergarten at the end of summer, and who are currently in Kindergarten. Campers must be 5 or older by the first day of their session.
Younger campers participate in smaller group activities throughout the day to offer them the additional support and supervision that they might need. Grove campers enjoy specialized activities geared toward kindergarten and first grade age groups.
General Camp
Serving campers completing 1-7 grade.
We offer an exciting variety of activities throughout the day. Our co-ed groups are coordinated by age, so activities can be tailored to meet the needs of all campers. The camp has three divisions: Forest, Ocean, and Jungle. Within the divisions, small groups of campers follow a pre-established, well-rounded daily schedule which offers the opportunity to try a variety of activities during the camp session. There’s also a chance each day for campers to select, with guidance from their counselor, a group choice activity period.
Leaders in Training
A leadership program for campers completing 8-10 grade.
The LIT program offers opportunities for teens to develop their leadership skills that can be applied as future staff at Crossroads, and beyond. LIT’s will also have the opportunity to shadow and support staff members leading activities in areas such as swim lessons.
Service Corps
For participants completing 10th or 11th grade and who are interested in working at camp (age restrictions apply).
Service Corps members are teens who have demonstrated strong leadership skills as well as a strong desire to work at camp. Campers complete a Crossroads Staff Application and traditional interview process and serve as ‘Junior Counselors’ throughout the summer. Service Corps are paired with full counselors and work on various activities.

– Bay Farm Summer emphasizes peace education and nature. Our structure encourages independence and freedom to move throughout our 9-acre campus.
– Mixed-age groups promote leadership and empathy.
You may recognize this year’s Bay Farm Summer themes, but the content and programming is going to blow your socks off this year!
That’s because this year, we’re inviting subject-matter experts to every single week to provide dedicated, engaging programs and activities to our campers.
While our themed weeks are oriented around specific themes and activities, they aren’t specialty camps. Instead, days are built around a core schedule with daily routines with large blocks of schedule dedicated to guest experts who will engage campers in a wide range of theme-specific activities.
Themes outlined below are for our Children’s House and Elementary campers. For information about Toddler House themes, check out the Toddler House homepage.
Check out the slate for this year:

Our partnership with Duxbury Bay Maritime School has resulted in numerous wonderful after-school activities over the past three years and we’re eager to have their specialist instructors join us for Bay Farm Summer.
ON THE FARM
Bay Farm Agriculture Specialist Evelyn Golden will spend the week inviting campers to explore our connections to the natural world around us, through engaging one-of-a-kind activities and on-campus excursions to explore local plant and wildlife.
We are so excited to get started and we have a wonderful slate of guests to ensure that your children have not only a great basecamp for the summer, but that they explore the variety of experiences you’ve come to expect from a Summer program.
Stay tuned, we’re always on the lookout for pop-up activities and will be adding even more to our roster of guest instructors as we get closer to the start of Bay Farm Summer.
