Gloucester
Museum School Project Adventure Summer Camp is a 501(C)(3) non-profit Day
Trip camp serving the greater Cape Ann area
in Massachusetts since 1978.
Our daily expeditions take campers deep into remote and beautiful natural areas that Cape Ann offers, exploring the wonders of nature, undertaking the challenge of adventure and thrusting deep into the foundation of the fundamental basics of life. Campers
are physically challenged by daily hiking and high adventure expeditions. Campers are immersed into nature, its
wonders and its complexities that offer the important lessons of life. GMS
strives to foster a child’s innate Sense
of Wonder and connection to the Natural
World. GMS fosters individual learning, personal growth and positive group interaction via high adventure-based activities. In taking real risks campers find real personal growth. The
intrinsic adventure and challenge of a GMS expedition can teach the skills
that foster principled inner guidance. Character
development, teamwork and positive group interaction are not only
essential to our program but a mainstay of our program. In
working together as a group towards common adventure goals through skills such as
communication and problem solving allows camper teams to work
together throughout the session to overcome outdoor and adventure
challenges. We
learn by doing, in encouraging one to reach goals. We nurture both social & environmental
responsibility within each camper through Group Dynamics, Full Value
Contract, Challenge by Choice and Leave No Trace philosophy. When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world." John Muir This camp
must comply with the regulations of the Massachusetts Department of Public
Health and be licensed by the Gloucester Board of Health.
