Investing in Boston’s future leaders
Camp Harbor View works with more than 1,000 young Bostonians and their families each year to offer a one-of-a-kind summer camp for students in grades 6-8, year-round leadership development for students in grades 9-12, and comprehensive family services, including college and career planning, scholarships, clinical support, and resource coordination — all at no cost to families. Camp Harbor View also builds targeted pilot programs, such as our Guaranteed Income Program and holiday assistance, that aim to address the acute needs of families across the city of Boston.

OUR COMMITMENT TO EQUITY & INCLUSION
Camp Harbor View’s work is focused on providing opportunity to some of Boston’s most historically marginalized communities. We believe that by working together with the families in our program we will make progress in overcoming many of the barriers of systemic inequity and advancing educational and economic parity. We strive to build a staff and board that is reflective of the communities that we serve.
