The Hawthorn School is excited to welcome you to “The Dangerous Camp for Boys,” a day camp for boys grades 3-6 devoted to adventure, skill-building, and stories of great heroes and explorers.

The camp seeks to develop the mind and body in a well-rounded way and to help boys spend their summer leisure well.
