Every summer in Boston Harbor, Camp Harbor View becomes a place where Boston youth can breathe a little easier, try something new, and build friendships that last. During the school year, teens deepen their leadership and explore what’s next through Leadership Academy. All year long, CHV is in young people’s corners, alongside their families, with steady support that helps make life a little more manageable and a lot more hopeful.
That work takes a whole community. This spring, a dedicated group of runners is stepping up to run the 2026 Boston Marathon to raise funds for CHV’s summer camp and year-round programs. You’ll see first-time marathoners, longtime Boston Marathon dreamers, and runners chasing major milestones. They come to the starting line with different stories, and the same shared purpose: showing up for Boston’s young people and their families.
We’re thrilled to introduce Team CHV 2026.
