BOSTON CAMP
The Boston Camp is located at Curry College. Situated on 135-acre wooded campus and only 7 miles from the downtown core of Boston, Curry College is a great location not only for its beauty but also for the safety and security that it provides for our Summer Camp. The
campus is right next door to the Blue Hills natural reservation, which offers breath taking views and many kinds of outdoor recreation opportunities.
Boston
