Day Tripping

Day Tripping Program

Day-tripping was created in response to parental requests for a means of having their children discover Boston in group settings, with chaperones leading the way. This year it will be held during the week of June 15th-19th for those entering grades 6-8 who want to explore local venues with friends.

Here’s a preliminary outline of trips in 2020*
  • Monday - Beach Day
  • Tuesday - TBD
  • Wednesday - TBD
  • Thursday - Canobie Lake Park
  • Friday - Scavenger Hunt
With the exception of Canobe Lake, trips are made possible by Boston’s good old MBTA system and an unlimited Charlie Card. So tell your kids to double knot those laces and get ready to hit the pavement. This city has much to offer.
