For Youth & Kids

Our wide range of youth trips and programs help children and young adults enjoy all that the islands have to offer.

Are you planning a visit to Boston Harbor Islands? Do you want to have fun while learning about the plants, animals, rocks, and history of the park? If so, you should be a Junior Ranger.

Or, visit the stamp boxes on Georges and Spectacle Islands to collect island stamps for your DCR Park Passport.

Want to participate in the traditional summer camp activities, such as hiking, arts and crafts, and swimming? Want to boost your confidence and learn how to be a leader? Camp Harbor View on Long Island is for you.

Or, how about joining an exciting Outward Bound Summer Expedition sailing or sea kayaking from Thompson Island throughout the Boston Harbor Islands?

Looking for a job? We offer temporary work on the islands and in downtown Boston for youth, ages 15-25.
