When school closes for the summer, the Club offers several summer programs. With day programs running at both our Elson Clubhouse and Camp Ramsbottom, located in Rehoboth, MA, we offer an array of opportunities for youth to stay engaged throughout the summer.

Camp Ramsbottom

The Boys & Girls Club of Pawtucket’s Camp Ramsbottom, located in Rehoboth, Massachusetts, features 160 acres of summertime fun. Summer programs at Camp Ramsbottom are offered to youth ages, 6-13, and run from June through August in four two-week sessions.

Camp Ramsbottom boasts everything you might want in a summer camp including: an adventure course, archery, arts & crafts, basketball, fishing, hiking, mini-golf, a petting zoo, soccer, swimming, tennis and much more, all led by caring and professional staff. Bus service to Camp Ramsbottom is provided from convenient locations in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, with camper pick-up each morning and drop-off each afternoon. The fee is per two-week session. Extended care hours at both the Club’s Elson Clubhouse in Pawtucket and Camp Ramsbottom in Rehoboth are available for an additional fee.

During this time of uncertainty amid the COVID-19 pandemic, we cannot thank you enough for your loyalty, commitment, and patience as we confront and adjust to the new challenges of today. After exploring many options of how we could provide a quality, fun, and safe camp experience for our campers, program aides, and staff this summer, it is with a very heavy heart that we sadly must inform you that the Boys & Girls Club of Pawtucket’s Camp Ramsbottom will not open for the summer of 2020.
