Mission

Through personal commitment and dedicated to the development and guidance of youth we will provide a unique educational environment in which individuals have fun and realize their worth and potential.

Statement of Philosophy

The Cape Cod Sea Camps are preeminently dedicated to the guidance of youth and founded on the principles of love for fellow men and appreciation of God's world and people.  Camping is a joyful educational experience carefully designed to allow children to develop all aspects of their personalities - physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional.  Children at camp are viewed not merely as "miniature adults", but as youngsters who need constant care and attention to help them develop into happy, productive, sensitive men and women.  Camp provides a microcosm in which a child's attitudes will be greatly influenced and in which he may "experiment" with new types of behaviors in a controlled, responsive environment.  Camp helps children learn about themselves as they learn about people and natural beauty around them.  As each child is respected as an individual, so he is encouraged to become sensitive to the unique aspects of humanity in others.  Children are helped to overcome the insensitivity inherent in categorizing individuals by group associated through living, working, playing with others of both sexes, and various ethnic, religious and racial backgrounds.

The Cape Cod Sea Camps are "people places" where the needs of children and abilities of the staff determine the program; no tradition is so entrenched that is wisdom cannot be scrutinized and no proposed innovation is too radical not to merit serious consideration.  The essence of the camp is the multifaceted composite personality of every person who has influenced it throughout more than three quarters of a century, and the substance of its future has yet to be determined by those who will give of themselves tomorrow.  Everything that happens at Cape Cod Sea Camps, however, is strongly imbued with the moral consciousness that it takes time for a child to grow and a deep conviction that camping is indeed an educational experience, and unlike any other anywhere.
