Tabor Summer Camp

Where Summer Comes to Life

Explore. Create. Connect by the Sea.

At Tabor Summer Camp, every day is an invitation to explore, create, and connect by the sea. Rooted in a summer tradition dating back to 1917, our camp continues to inspire generations of young people on Tabor Academy's beautiful 85-acre waterfront campus in Marion, Massachusetts. From sports on the fields and courts to waterfront adventures, creative arts, and engaging challenges, campers discover new interests, develop skills, and make every day their own.

At the heart of Tabor Summer Camp is a vibrant, inclusive community where friendships flourish, traditions bring us together, and every camper has the opportunity to grow. Guided by experienced counselors, coaches, and instructors, campers build confidence, independence, creativity, and teamwork through shared experiences and meaningful connections.

More than just a summer camp, Tabor is a place where lasting friendships are formed, new passions are discovered, and memories are made that extend far beyond summer.

Looking for Sailing or Marine Science?

Sailing and marine science are now offered as dedicated signature programs rather than individual activity selections within Tabor Summer Camp. Due to their popularity and the unique nature of these experiences, Tabor Sailing School and the Ocean & Climate Institute provide opportunities for more specialized instruction, extended learning time, and deeper exploration.

Want to experience both? Campers can enroll in sailing or marine science through their respective signature program in the morning, then join Tabor Summer Camp in the afternoon for sports, waterfront adventures, creative arts, and more.
