Description
Camp Coca-Cola New England (CCCNE) is a year-round combination of summer camp and community experiences. First, participants start off each year with a summer experience at our residential site in Ashby, MA. This camp experience uses traditional camp activities, biking, hiking, swimming, etc. to teach leadership skills to our teens.
CCCNE works to expand the horizons of our participants, developing programming that incorporates natural history, science, math, culture, visual and performing arts, and language arts. We introduce teens to careers in various fields and disciplines, and open the doors to higher education by working step-by-step with our teens to find the right opportunities for them.
Each year, only 72 new spaces are offered in the CCCNE program, and these spaces are filled with motivated teens who are nominated by their school or community youth agency. This nomination alone is a great recognition of the teen being on the right track and already showing commitment to leadership and service in their community.
