Boott Mills Camp

July 24-28
Come play, create, and "mill around" with us. Play, create, and discover - on a trolley, by boat, and on foot. You'll weave by hand, create amazing works of art, and become a hydropower engineer. You've never had so much fun with history.
Eco-Explorers
(Ages 10-14)
July 17-21
Have fun being green on our big blue planet. Spend a week with other explorers as we investigate pockets of wilderness in Lowell and beyond. Go canoeing on a lazy river, explore tide-pools, and have fun learning about the world outside our windows.
Discovery!
(Ages 10-14)
July 31 - August 4
Experiment with messy science and cool engineering challenges. Explore, investigate, discover! Have fun with science through crafts, games, field trips, and experiments that go a step beyond the ordinary and uncover new twists on Lowell’s stories.
