Summer Programs

Attending a summer camp at The Governor's Academy is a wonderful way to experience life on campus while exploring a favorite interest or passion. Each summer, we host a variety of partner-run camps on our beautiful 350-acre campus in Byfield, Massachusetts.

Camp offerings span athletics, enrichment, and the arts, providing engaging experiences in a collegiate-style setting. All camps are independently operated and managed by their sponsoring organizations, with programming, staffing, and registration handled directly by each camp.
