Camp Burgess for Boys
Camp Burgess is an overnight camp that offers one and two-week sessions for boys ages 7 to 16. Founded in 1928, Burgess is located on beautiful Spectacle Pond, Cape Cod, across from our sister Camp Hayward, which started in 1960. Our brother-sister structure allows Burgess campers to benefit from an all-boy environment while also experiencing safe and positive opportunities for co-ed social interaction.

Offering one and two week sessions for girls ages 7 to 16, Camp Hayward is located across the pond from Camp Burgess. Our brother-sister structure allows Hayward campers to benefit from an all-girl environment while also experiencing safe and positive opportunities for co-ed social interaction.
