Summer camps are over but Crossroads now swings into our leadership programs.
Our year-round programs help young people find their confidence, their voice and their future.
Your donations make year-round programming a reality!
The Crossroads journey begins with camp and leads anywhere.
Navigating the world as a young person today is more complicated
and challenging than ever before.
​
Too many of our children and teens are being asked to travel on a journey without essential tools or experienced fellow travelers.
​
For 88 years, Crossroads has been a guide
through the wilderness.
​
Crossroads' summer overnight camps
and year-round leadership programs get young people off their screens
and out into nature, where they play, giggle, stretch,
and learn about the power of their potential.
Crossroads youth learn to build strong relationships
and overcome challenges, to swim, ride a bike, land a fish,
navigate by compass, and summit mountains,
to lead a team, influence for change,
and give back to their communities.
They learn to confidently DREAM BIG.
1,000 young people from greater Boston
experience our programs every year as springboards to a bright future.
Our programs can span10+ years in our young people's lives.
And we have impact...
My daughter went from being a shy little girl to being around a group of kids and staff who allowed her to express her true silly self"
My son learned how to communicate effectively, and is able to work as a team with people who are different from himself."
The environment is an extension of home and when my camper is there,
I'm worry free."
