Program Overviews
Tabor Sailing School
Tabor Sailing School welcomes sailors ages 7–18 of all experience levels to develop their skills, confidence, and passion for sailing on the waters of Sippican Harbor and Buzzards Bay. From first-time beginners to competitive racers, students learn from experienced coaches in a supportive, hands-on environment. Sailors are grouped by ability, ensuring instruction and challenges are tailored to their experience and skill level. Through boat handling, sailing techniques, and racing strategies, students build independence, teamwork, and confidence on the water. With every session, sailors gain the skills and experience to take on new challenges and reach their full potential.
Advanced Scholar Program
Tabor's Advanced Scholar Program offers two academic pathways fostering curiosity, global connections, and growth. Gateways is an eight-day residential academic enrichment program for students entering grades 6–8, combining academic seminars with American boarding school life. The University Track offers a rigorous, three-week experience for domestic and international students entering grades 8–10, exploring future college majors and careers. Through specialized coursework, mentored research, and hands-on projects, students strengthen critical thinking skills and produce original work. Both pathways inspire academic discovery, personal growth, and lasting connections.
Our Community. Endless Possibilities
Your Summer. Your Way.
While each Tabor Summer program offers a unique experience, shared traditions bring our community together.
Campers begin their mornings with a community gathering before heading into their chosen programs. Full-day participants come together for lunch and Hoyt Half, a campus-wide activity that celebrates the spirit of Tabor Summer.
Looking for even more variety? Campers wishing to participate in Tabor Sailing School or the Ocean & Climate Institute can choose to join Tabor Summer Camp in the afternoon for sports, waterfront adventures, creative arts, and beloved camp traditions, including 220 Rock.
For those seeking an extended experience, Tabor's residential experience offers evening activities, shared experiences, and opportunities to build lasting friendships within our summer community.
One beautiful waterfront campus. Countless opportunities to explore.
