CAMP Favorite Day
ABOUT CAMP
Camp Favorite is the premier sailing and water sports camp for girls in New England. In operation 52 summers, this beautiful property in the bay in historic Brewster offers an incomparable sailing and camp experience for all. Located just off the Cape Cod Rail Trail, Camp Favorite also has an extensive biking program including trips to the islands of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard. All programs include swimming, boating, campfire, games, crafts and more. Because safety is our top priority, water activities are weather dependent.
Typical Day
Camp Favorite begins with the flag ceremony, from there girls enjoy various activities ranging from swimming, arts and crafts, canoeing, fire building, sailing, biking along the famous Cape Cod Rail Trail and so much more! Girl Scouts participate in a sing along at lunch time, make s'mores around the camp fire, and make ever lasting friendships. Activities will vary each day according to the theme of the program and weather. More about a typical day at camp (PDF)
