PRESERVING A MAGICAL PLACE

Brewster Flats Foundation

One chance to secure the site of the former
Cape Cod Sea Camps

 
 

In November, 2020 the Cape Cod Sea Camps announced that it would close after nearly a century of service as a summer camp for children.

The Brewster Flats Foundation is a Massachusetts-based nonprofit, organized to secure and acquire the land of the former Cape Cod Sea Camps.

We are marshaling the energy of the global camp and local community networks to protect the site from development, preserve and expand access of camp and programs to the public and under served communities, and steward its precious coastal resources into the 21st Century.

We have one chance to offer a competitive bid to preserve the land for a wider community. We need your help.

“When I think back to the most uncomfortable parts of middle and high school, the underlying condition was being unsure of myself. Camp was the antidote. This place gave me real friendship, encouragement, and a safe place to fail; it allowed me to tap into a sense of confidence and find a voice I never thought I had. I’m not a parent and I have no idea what is in store for my future kids, but I’m certain that 7 weeks on the Bay can offer them a world of good.”

Ben S., Former Camper

“Where to begin? I arrived in June 1989 as a shy, homesick, insomniac 10 year old. In a few weeks I made great new friends, could sail, waterski, shoot a bow & arrow, and mastered the life-long skill of making a top bunk (I won an award). Years later, I returned as a counselor and made many several of my most enduring friendships. “

Michael M., Former Camper

“I worked in the kitchen and loved the atmosphere! Would love my child to experience that”

Theresa V., Former CCSC Staff

“I hope children continue to occupy that space - camp needs to offer tradition, inclusivity, community and a soft landing spot for kids. I have so many memories and so may lifelong friends and would love others to be able to say the same about magical summers from the Bay to 6A!”

Melissa D.

“As a dedicated member of the Cape Cod camp community I would love to give back in any way that I can. I spent five summers at CCSC as a camper from 2012-2016, having the best summers ever, and learning lots about sailing during my time there.”

Lucas Q.

“I still vividly remember being dropped off for the first time as an 8 year old and jumping into a soccer game on the upper field as my parents drove away. Just that feeling of being on my own and independent for the first time was so important. I hope that the camp can continue to be a place for kids to experience that independence for the first time and make friendships that last for a lifetime. “

Drew M.

“Camp is truly my happy place. I learned and grew more than in any other sphere of my life. It wasn’t just about sailing or tennis or any of the activities there, but the traditions and the values it instilled. I loved Camp and although I hadn’t been back other than to visit since I finished AC year, I took comfort knowing it was running and in the hopes that I could send my kids there one day.”

Lexa H., Former Camper

“Camp was my childhood, the highlight of my every summer. The fun and character growth I went through at Camp is indescribable.”

Alexander O., Former Camper

“It’s my daughter’s lifeline. She was crushed to find out camp would be no longer.”

Allison F., Parent

“Camp is my second home, where I grew up and made life long friends. It’s where I learned to sail and dreamed my children would as well. I would love to see it preserved for future generations to enjoy and grow in as much as I have.”

Catherine S., Former Camper
