Registration & Enrollment
Ready for an unforgettable summer by the sea? Getting started is easy! Follow these four steps to find the right program and complete your enrollment.
Four Easy Steps to Register
Step 1: Create Your Camp in Touch Account
Your Tabor Summer journey begins with Camp in Touch, our online registration and family management system. Through your Camp in Touch account, you can 1) Register campers and manage enrollments 2) Complete and submit required camper forms 3) View tuition balances and manage payments. Your account serves as your family's central resource before and during camp.
Step 2: Choose Your Summer Program
Find the experience that best matches your camper's interests. Tabor offers four distinct summer programs, each designed to encourage exploration, skill development, and fun.
Tabor Summer Camp
A Tabor tradition since 1917, Tabor Summer Camp offers classic summer fun for ages 7–16 in a vibrant waterfront community. Campers explore their interests through activities including sports, swimming, kayaking, ceramics, drama, and the arts. Each day brings opportunities to participate in multiple activities, learn new things, build confidence, and develop lasting friendships. Our residential experience extends the fun beyond the camp day, fostering independence, teamwork, and a sense of belonging. Teens ages 14–18 can take the next step through our Counselor-in-Training program, developing leadership skills while mentoring younger campers.
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.
Ocean & Climate Institute
The Ocean & Climate Institute invites students ages 7–18 to explore marine science, ocean ecosystems, and climate science through hands-on discovery. Using our Marine and Nautical Science Center, Sippican Harbor, and Buzzards Bay as living classrooms, students conduct research aboard Tabor’s research vessel, explore coastal estuaries, and perform wet lab experiments. Guided by Tabor faculty, participants develop scientific skills, critical thinking, and an understanding of our changing environment through fieldwork and collaborative research, learning to analyze data, solve problems, and communicate findings while gaining a deeper appreciation for the natural world.
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.
