If you aged out of summer camp years ago but still long for the camaraderie and activities of camp, the Beach Getaway is for you. Join us for yoga, meditation, New England country dance, a Bocce tournament, a nature walk, sand sculpting, bum volleyball, and more. We’ll expand our creative horizons by making eco printed scarves or dishtowels. Our activities are geared for adults of all ages and abilities. The pace is yours: take it all in or step away and simply enjoy the beach or the rocking chairs that look out over the ocean, take time to walk, hang out on the beach, create on your own, or visit with friends.
The Getaway is a great experience for single folks, adult children and their parents, friends, couples, siblings or small adult groups. |
