School lets out this year on June 27th. How will your kids spend their summer vacation? With our comprehensive guide to camps on Martha’s Vineyard, it’s easy to find a camp for every interest. Start planning now, and give your kids something to write home about this summer.
Gone are the days when camp was a predictable lineup of crafts, snacks, naps,
swimming lessons and more naps. The Vineyard has as many day camps as
it does dirt roads and shady lanes — camps where kids can garden, dance,
skateboard, improvise comedy routines, and jump joyfully from kayaks.
