Camp Harbor View

06/19/2026

Happy Juneteenth! On June 19, 1865, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, over 250,000 enslaved Black people in Texas finally learned they were free. Today, we honor that delayed liberation and celebrate the resilience, joy, and power of Black communities.

You've heard us say over the years that Camp Harbor View is so much more than a camp. But what does it really mean to be a part of our year-round community? Members of our Parent Advisory Board—Meaka Brown, Olga Marin, and Latoya Sweeney—shared about their experience forming a sisterhood at CHV in this video that premiered at Beach Ball! We hope you enjoy 💖

There's a sound the island makes on the first morning of camp: hundreds of kids spilling off the ferry at once, like summer just got switched on. In just two weeks, a new batch of campers steps onto Long Island for the first time, and there's no better time of year to show your support and send them off right!

To celebrate, we've got a special opportunity: for every $10+ donation that lands before the first ferry leaves the dock on June 29, we’ll ship off a thank you gift from the team: your pick of the Original Duckhead x Ben Jundanian CHV Umbrella, the '47 ball cap, the CHV notebook, or a visit out to the island for you and a friend.*

Claim your gift NOW, free with a $10+ donation! → https://hubs.ly/Q04lqgTY0

In honor of the first World Cup game in Boston — and one week since we celebrated Beach Ball — just wanted to share these words of wisdom from Governor Maura Healey. 💖 You heard it here folks: nothing happening in Massachusetts this summer is as important as Camp Harbor View!!

A lasting tribute to our founder, Jack Connors, Jr., was unveiled at the base of 200 Clarendon Street in Boston. This special statue, which features Jack sitting on a bench, was created by artist Pablo Eduardo.

We were joined at the unveiling ceremony by champions of the project, including Governor Maura Healey, Mayor Michelle Wu, Joseph R. Nolan, Bryan Koop, and the Connors family.

"I hope when you visit the statue, you are reminded of the values and what he stood for: kindness, compassion, humility, looking to do for others, to care for others, and giving it your shot every day," said Governor Healey.

We hope you will visit the statue and take a moment to reflect on Jack’s unwavering belief in the power of community, conversation, and possibility.
