Founded in 1978, the Gloucester Museum School Project Adventure Summer Camp undertakes daily expeditions into the remote and beautiful natural areas of Cape Ann. Our campers are immersed into nature and physically challenged by the daily hikes and high adventure expeditions. GMS strives to foster a child’s innate sense of wonder and connection to the natural world.

Since the summer of 2009, we have successfully offered two new camps in addition to our regular Junior and Adventure Sea programs:

TALL SHIP ADVENTURES and ROCK CLIMBING camp.

The intrinsic adventure and challenge of a GMS expedition teaches children the skills that foster principled inner guidance, character development, teamwork and positive group interaction. We learn by doing and encourage each other to reach our goals. We nurture both social & environmental responsibility through principles of Group Dynamics, the Full Value Contract,  Challenge by Choice and a Leave No Trace philosophy.

GMS Project Adventure Summer Camp complies with the regulations of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and is licensed by the Gloucester Board of Health.

Payment Policy

January 27th, 2010

As of the 2010 season, GMS camp is set up to accept credit card payments via Paypal – under limited circumstances and when cleared in advance by our director, Jo-Anne Crawford.

Much as we would love to accept credit card payments from all of our camper families, each credit card transaction costs us a significant percentage in processing fees. We are a small non-profit organization that operates on a small budget. Please understand that we prefer to reserve any and all additional funds for our camp enrichment fund and also to assist local families with camp scholarships.

GMS Camp Chickens

Our Island Chickens

Last  Summer, as our  09  campers are aware, we   housed three chickens on  Ram Island.  They were  a  constant source of  entertainment and, as an added  bonus, ate their  share of Island bugs as well as our household food scraps.

Jeff built them  a luxury condo on the  mainland  for  the winter and  they continue  to lay eggs regularly… a testament to  their contentedness.
