Gordon College is a distinctive blend: an outstanding nationally ranked liberal arts institution that retains its roots in the Christian faith, a strong residential community, and a splendid location—just north of the intellectual hub of Boston, and right near the shoreline of Cape Ann. Our faith is the foundation for all that we are—individually, collectively and institutionally. With a spirit of support and collaboration, we are set free in Christ to think critically, engage new ideas and pursue truth. As an intentional Christian community, Gordon serves students from a wide range of backgrounds who embrace the College’s broadly evangelical identity and desire an experience that combines an exceptional liberal arts education with an informed Christian faith. We retain a commitment to integrating faith and learning, a heritage once embraced by many institutions, such as our neighbor in Boston, Harvard University—the first institution of higher learning in the United States. Gordon also remains committed to the power of a liberal arts education to hone qualities most sought by employers—the ability to think holistically, reason analytically, communicate persuasively and—even more importantly—to act morally.

Through organized activities, we also work to help campers develop strong values, work on problem-solving skills, and gain an appreciation for nature and their peers. At our camp, we believe that fostering a positive sense of self-worth and giving campers the opportunity to form meaningful relationships are essential elements of a fun and successful summer camp experience.

We also provide opportunities for campers to explore their interests, build character, and gain confidence in themselves and their abilities. By emphasizing these values, we hope to ensure that our campers have a memorable and rewarding summer.
