    What does an EXPLO day look like?

    Life at this Massachusetts summer camp is all about choice—the freedom to experiment, with a supportive community to cheer you on. And while there’s no such thing as a “typical” day at EXPLO, they follow this basic flow:

    • Morning Huddle
    • Breakfast
    • Day student arrival
    • Workshop Period 1
    • Workshop Period 2

    Attend both workshops every weekday morning, with a break in between. Focus students attend their Focus programs during Workshop periods.

    • Lunch
    • Electives
    • Check-In, Community Meeting
    • Clubs, Leagues + Activities
    • Flex Time
    • Day Student Pickup

    In clubs, leagues, and activities, you can try something new every day, or make a weeklong commitment. The best part? Participating with friends—and making new ones—while building your strengths and interests. Sign up to spend time in the Square during Flex Time and visit its shops and restaurants.

    Focus students attend their Focus programs during the Elective period.

    • Dinner
    • Check-In
    • Evening Events
    • Late Day Student Pickup
    • Hall Check-In
    • Room Curfew 


    Grab a spot on the lawn for movie night, catch an outdoor magic show, laugh out loud at an improv comedy troupe, or take to the stage yourself—the possibilities are endless. Past events include Carnival Night, EXPLO’s Got Talent, EXPLOStock Music Festival, dances, Game Show Night, and more!
