About Hale Reservation - Westwood
At Hale Education, Inc., we believe in the power of nature, education, and recreation to inspire us to learn, empower us to lead, and challenge us all to create a world in which people, place, and purpose are united. Our founder, Robert Sever Hale, recognized the potential of the land and its resources for developing responsible citizens, and we continue to honor his legacy through our flagship camps, youth programs, family and community activities, school partnerships, and professional development opportunities.
We serve several thousand children and families from 70 Greater Boston communities annually, and invite visitors of all ages to explore our 1,100+ acres of forests, ponds, and meadows in Westwood and Dover, Massachusetts. Our land management practices are guided by our commitment to Hale’s vision, which provides a unique opportunity to reconnect with one another and with the natural world through education, recreation, and exploration. We strive to create an environment where everyone feels safe, supported, and inspired.

The classes, camps and experiences this business offers.
Summer Sprouts (Ages 4–5)
Get ready for summer by building sandcastles, playing games, splashing in shallow water, exploring trails, and making friends. Half-days increase little kids’ comfort in the outdoors, and a 1:5 staff-to-child ratio ensures personal attention as they socialize and acclimate to Powissett Pond’s placid waterfront.
Hale Outdoor Learning Adventures (HOLA)
Hale Outdoor Learning Adventures (HOLA) is a 5-week day camp experience in Westwood and Dover. Campers from BPS partner schools explore more than 1,000 acres of adventure as they learn in the great outdoors. Teachers and counselors double as mentors who inspire curiosity, spark learning, and build community.
School & Professional Programs
Hale designs and delivers high-quality adventures for schools, colleges, and organizations. Our best-in-class facilitators help groups explore, learn, and grow—online, at their schools, in their communities, and across Hale’s 1,137 acres of adventure that feature miles of trails, several ecosystems, four ponds, and two accredited ropes challenge courses.
