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.

For the first time ever, a greater black backed gull has chosen our float as a spot to nest. We’ve had to be extra careful not to disturb her too much as we go about our spring clean up activities on the island.

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.

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.
