Summer Fun Awaits
Evening Events
After a day of exploration, the fun continues with evening events that bring everyone together for unforgettable moments. Every evening offers something new to experience. These events are a highlight of the summer—and a chance to connect, laugh, and make memories that last a lifetime.
Day students can join in on the fun for an additional charge each night.
Weekend Trips
Each weekend day, you choose what you do and where you go. Maybe it will be whale watching on the Boston harbor. Or maybe a day at the Museum of Fine Arts. A trip to an amusement park? A food tour? We can’t answer this one for you because it’s up to you!
Weekend trips are only for Overnight students.
Find Your People
We often hear from families after the summer that their children forgot to get friends' contact information. We get it— they're too busy having fun!
To make it easier to make those connections, we are offering a Summer Directory which will be shared with all families once the program has ended. To opt into this directory, click the link below and fill out the form with your contact information. This will only be shared with other enrolled EXPLO families securely on the CampSite Student Dashboard and is entirely optional.
Day Student Carpool
EXPLO maintains a carpool list for day families to connect with one another to coordinate shared transportation.
If you opt into the carpool list, you are agreeing to and understand that your contact information will be shared with other EXPLO families. Carpool lists will be shared in May.
You can opt in on the Day Transportation Details form on the Student Dashboard.
EXPLO Merch Store
Get decked out in your EXPLO swag from our merch site! Clothing, accessories, summer essentials, and so much more. Come to campus ready to represent!
We've partnered with Printify to provide a wide variety of branded items that are printed and shipped directly from our suppliers, so no products will be available for purchase on campus. For any questions about shipping or help with your order, please contact Printify Customer Service directly.
