About Camp Burgess & Hayward
Established in 1928, South Shore YMCA Camp Burgess & Hayward have been leaders in Massachusetts camping for over 90 years.
Located on Cape Cod just one hour south of Boston in the historic town of Sandwich, the brother-sister YMCA camps are situated on over 300 acres of forests, meadows and sparkling freshwater ponds. With one and two-week sessions, Camp Burgess & Hayward have programs for boys and girls ages 7-16.
Camp Burgess is an overnight camp that offers one and two-week sessions for boys ages 7 to 16. With their fellow cabin mates, campers will explore our 300 acre property, go on great adventures, challenge themselves on ropes course and climbing tower, learn outdoor living skills, build things and play an endless array of games on our courts, fields and fresh water ponds. There is something for everyone at Burgess.
Camp Hayward offers one and two week sessions for girls ages 7 to 16. Camp Hayward is a place for girls to gain independence, build community and foster friendships. By learning new skills, Hayward campers will develop self confidence and self respect, based on an appreciation of their own worth as individuals. Campers experience waterfront activities, creative arts, sports, performing arts, and a lot of singing in the dining hall.
Our Adventure Trips program is available to campers ages 12-17. Participants have the opportunity to embark on off-site adventures around Cape Cod, the Islands, New Hampshire, and Maine. Led by trained trip leaders, campers expand their comfort zone in a safe, caring, and fun environment. Campers can try new activities, including biking on Martha's Vineyard, surfing at Cape Cod's National Seashore, and rock climbing at Acadia's Otter Cliffs, just to name a few. With our wide-ranging Adventure Trip options, there's a trip for everyone.
