The best of both worlds! Spread along the banks of a 230-acre Ponkapoag Pond in the 8,500-acre MDC Blue Hills Reservation, the camp offers a wilderness experience just 15 minutes from Boston. Here you'll enjoy a rustic environment, be able to help preserve this critical area, and have the chance to volunteer to keep the Ponkapoag spirit alive!
