Summer Programs
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.

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. The fee is per two-week session.
