The 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
