Outside With Your Kids Since 1974

Gloucester Adventure Camp

Outside with your kids since 1976...

GMS Adventure Camp fosters a sense of wonder, environmental stewardship, and critical thinking skills. The open spaces of Essex County serve as a living classroom for campers to learn, appreciate and understand the natural resources of the greater Cape Ann area.

Helen Ives made this for us after working on the museum archives of the Folly Cove Designer’s. An obvious talent, Helen was our Jr. Sea head teacher last summer.

We are starting to get excited about our upcoming season. Jeff, Jo-Anne and some of our dynamic board members are getting the dories ready to launch for the summer.

Our staff is looking forward to seeing new and old faces for a summer of outdoor adventures.

We’ve updated our website with dates and prices for the summer of 2022. Hooray!

You can also download all required forms in the ‘For Parents‘ section of our site.

Our brochure is still in progress, and we will let everyone know when it is available for download.

We look forward to seeing both new and familiar faces in a few short months.

We will be meeting at 9AM in the O’Maley School parking lot on the first day of every session this year. Please do not bring your camper(s) to Gloucester Maritime. After that, please follow the drop off instructions on the itinerary we hand out to all parents on the first day.

The kids say these masks are really comfortable!

Please show your support and buy one for everyone in the family.
We have a limited supply of 6 designs so we will fill your orders on a first come, first served basis. We had 6 of our favorite Camp photos printed in the UK on organic 4.6 oz weight cotton and added an organic cotton lining. Each mask costs $15.00.

The masks were hand sewn by our friend from Nepal, Tsedam Sherpa. Tsedam will be donating 100% of his proceeds to support HomeAwayfromHome in his village of Namche Bazaar. Namche Bazaar is the last big village before the Mt. Everest Base camp, and it is where he houses and educates Sherpa children who have lost parents in climbing accidents over the years.

Sizing Info:
The Adult medium size will fit most kids so we have a limited quantity of child sizes available.
Order child size only if your face is very petite.
Both Mila and Jo-Anne wear Medium, and Jeff prefers the large.

Adult masks include a very comfortable safety nose wire to adjust to your face and prevent fogging of any glasses.
