Field Trips

Six Flags New England - 7:30am-8pm
This trip is long, but very exciting!  Due to the lengthy bus ride and time at the park, we will only be taking children ages 10 and older.  Please make sure that your child will participate in most of the rides, as we do not want to spoil the day of other kids in their group.  Lunch, and extra money is suggested as there are many games and snacks to be purchased.  Sun block, bathing suits, and snacks for the ride are strongly suggested.

Good Times Arcade - 9:30am-2:00pm - $25
Good Times is located in Somerville.  Children will receive 2 rolls of tokens ($20), 4 laser tag or ride tickets and lunch.  Lunch will be pizza and a drink.  Children may bring extra money if they wish, but it is not necessary.  Counselors will be assigned to all exits, bathrooms, as well as monitoring the gaming areas. 

Cosmic Bowling - 9:15am-1:00pm - $20
Bowling is located at the Woburn Bowladrome. Cosmic Bowling is bowling with the lights lowered, music blasting, and light shows.  The price of the trip includes rental bowling shoes.  Please do not send children with money for snacks or arcade games.  Counselors will be assigned to the lanes with the children.

Southwick Zoo- 8:30am-3pm - $25
Southwick Zoo is in Menden, MA.  The zoo is packed with animals from all over the world!  Children will be given a lunch including a hotdog, hamburger, or peanut butter and jelly sandwich.  They will also get chips and a drink.   Lunch is already included in the price.  We will also be seeing a training show at the zoo.  Children may bring extra money as they are allowed to ride the elephants and camels at an additional cost.  Children will pick/be assigned to groups with a counselor.

Boston Aquarium and IMAX Theater -TBA
We will be going into Boston to tour the Aquarium, have lunch outside on the harbor, and then to watch a 3D IMAX movie.  Children are required to bring a paper/plastic bagged lunch (something they can throw out when they are finished).  We will not be carrying bags around all day.  The 3D movie is to be determined because the IMAX Theater does not put out a schedule more than two months in advance.  Children may bring extra money for the Aquarium Gift Shop.  Children will not be allowed to buy lunch at the aquarium nor snacks at the theater.  Counselors and children will be assigned to small groups.

Canobie Lake Park- Mandatory or No Summer Program- 10:30am-6:00pm - $30
This trip is all day fun!  We must take all of our staff in order to accommodate the amount of children that join us.  It is optional whether or not your child brings or buys a lunch.  However, if they bring a lunch, it must be in bag that can be thrown away.  We recommend bathing suits underneath Summer Program T-Shirts as there are many water rides.  We do not use the swimming pool.  We will not allow them to carry a bag or cooler around during the day.  Children are allowed to pick their own group, but once the group is set, it will not be changed.  Group sizes vary by age from 4-6 children per group.  Please keep in mind that there are many rides on this trip and it may not be suitable for your child.

Nashua Pride Baseball Game- 10:45am-4pm - $15
We’re off to see a semi-professional baseball game.  Children can buy lunch and snacks if they choose.  Please wear sun block if necessary. 

Fenway Park Tour -6/25 10:30am-2pm, 7/9 7:30am-10:30pm - $16
This is awesome!  The bus will drop us off right outside the gates!  VIP!  The children will actually get to walk along the warning track of the Green Monster and check out the dugouts.  If that isn’t cool enough, they will get to check out the 400 club seats, the monster seats, and much more!  Part of the tour is a stop at the Official Red Sox Souvenir Shop. Extra money is optional.  Lunch will be back at Livingston Street.  This is the only trip that a Summer Program T-Shirt is not required, that is, if you are wearing Red Sox attire of course.  Counselors and children travel together in one large tour group.

Baseball Hall of Fame -6am-9pm- $55
This is a long bus trip.  We will only be taking children ages 10 and up.  If you have a younger child that would like to attend please speak with Lauren or Roy. Children should wear sneakers as there is a lot of walking.  Aside from the Hall of Fame, Cooperstown has an outdoor walking area for shopping.   Children should bring money to buy lunch.  They may bring coolers with snacks and drinks for the ride.  We will be riding in style on a coach bus.

Sky Venture -9am-3:30pm- $40
This is an awesome trip for the Summer Program!  The Virtual Air Tunnel is in Nashua, New Hampshire.  All children will take a training session first and then take flight.  The flying occurs above an over sized trampoline.  This is extremely safe and fun!  There's nothing closer to flying! 

Ice Skating -10am-1pm- $13
A little different for the summer, but what better way to cool off in August!  We will be traveling to Philips Academy where children can either bring their own skates or use free rentals.  All children are required to wear a helmet whether they are professionals, novices, or first time skaters.  The Tewksbury Summer Program children will have the entire rink to themselves.

Water Country
-Mandatory or No Summer Program- 9am-4pm- $32

There is absolutely no use of the wave pool for Summer Program participants.  Children are in groups of 4-5 depending on age, with a councilor.  You may bring a lunch or buy a lunch.  We suggest sun block and towels.  We have a designated area where children can leave their belongings.  Please nothing valuable-just in case! Please keep in mind that there are many rides on this field and it may not be suitable for your child

Imax Theater Reading -10am-2pm- $18
We will be watching a PG13 movie- Batman the Dark Knight in  3D.  It is your choice whether or not this is appropriate for your child.  Children will be able to purchase snacks prior to the start of the show.
