The Best of Summer in the Piscataqua Maritime Region
The Forest Society is working with the Gundalow Company in Portsmouth again this year to host summer day camps for kids aged 9-13. The program will include a day exploring Creek Farm, our coastal forest reservation on tidal Sagamore Creek in Portsmouth (plus plenty of time sailing on the historic gundalow Piscataqua and enjoying Prescott Park). Click here for more information about the camps.
Gundalow Company offers a variety of camp experiences to get kids on and around the water: from multi-aged River Rats programs where kids connect with the water through games, activities, adventures and sailing to our Discovery Camps where campers explore different themes and topics. The camps offer the best of summer in the Piscataqua Maritime Region.
During the summer of 2018, Gundalow Company is offering our mulit-age River Rats Camps and a variety of Gundalow Discovery Camps. Our River Rats camps are age-based and offer place-based camp experiences on the Gundalow, along the shoreline and on a variety of small boats. Our Gundalow Discovery Camps include themed camps that explore marine science, boat building, history and small boat sails. The list below shows all our scheduled programs, ages, and costs.
