Sunset Point Camp
For 90 years, Sunset Point Camp has provided children of the Greater Boston area the opportunity to have a fun-filled summer camp experience.
Sunset Point Camp, located in Hull, serves as a dream ‘vacation’ for 300 children each summer. The camp was a donation to Catholic Charities in 1918 by the Massachusetts State Council of the Knights of Columbus. For decades, the camp was run by the Franciscan Sisters of the Atonement and was known for many years as “Children’s Vacation House.”
The goal of the camp has always been to provide a free vacation for at-risk, low-income children from the Greater Boston area, without regard for their race, nationality, or religious affiliation. The programs at Sunset Point Camp are designed around building life skills, including teamwork, leadership, self-discipline, self-esteem, sportsmanship, and good health. Many of the children lived with the harsh realities of poverty, violence, and homelessness, and a host of other challenges, but for one week in the summer, these children had the opportunity just to be children, enjoy the fresh sea air, and simply have fun.
The programs at Sunset Point Camp are designed around building life skills, including teamwork, leadership, self-discipline, self-esteem, sportsmanship, and good health. Each summer, children enjoy swimming, games, crafts, food, fun, and friendship in a safe and comfortable environment. To date, more than 40,000 children have attended the camp.
