ABOUT CAMP

Since 1927, Four Winds has been a haven for young people to experience the joys and freedom of summer, embrace camp values and traditions, and be supported by a skilled and dedicated staff. Perhaps what is different about this island camp is not so much the range of activities offered, but that people accept each other unconditionally, for their sameness as well as their differences. There have been four generations of campers at Four Winds Westward Ho. More than one of those campers has said: Camp is the one place where I always felt I could be myself.

Over eighty years of creative thinking in a vital summer camp environment has made Four Winds Westward Ho a unique combination of tradition and responsiveness to the needs and aspirations of today’s youth.

Four Winds Westward Ho is located on its own small inlet, which is perfect for activities in and on the water. Camp has a long history of sailing and water-based trips.

Sailing – We own our own 62-foot yawl, the Carlyn, which takes kids on day sails and overnight trips, and while in camp kids have the opportunity to sleep on board and learn how to care and maintain a large boat. Additionally, we have a range of other sailboats, including Lightnings, Lasers, F.J.s, and Bugs. Sailing classes are offered to all levels of sailors, from absolute beginners to those wishing to perfect their technique in race sailing.

Canoeing – We offer canoeing as a class, and campers may also opt to participate in an overnight canoe trip to a nearby island. We have several different types of canoes, including beautiful handcrafted Old Town war canoes, built in the 1930’s and still in use today.

Kayaking – We have many small kayaks available for kids to take out in Four Winds Bay, and also maintain a set of sea kayaks for our trips program. It's a great way to see the islands, and learn about kayaking and seamanship skills.

Land Sports

We offer a wide range of sports in a supportive learning environment. Our focus is on team play and cooperation, rather than competition, and we strive to maintain a fun, positive environment.

Tennis – We have 3 regulation tennis courts, one of which doubles as a basketball court. Towards the end of each session, we organize a fun round-robin style tournament, dubbed “Four Wimbledon”.

Archery – We have a beautiful archery range in a forested corner of the woods. Classes offered by trained instructors.

Basketball – “Take Your Shot!” Have fun on the basketball court practicing drills to improve skills and games.

Pickleball – Human-sized ping pong. What else can we say?

Field Sports – We have a huge soccer field, and lots of fun ways to use it! Ultimate Frisbee, dodgeball, lacrosse, Sportschoice, kickball, soccer, and all kinds of other field games like capture-the-flag, etc.

The “Craft Courts”

Our well-supplied arts and crafts area is another favorite place in camp. Kids are encouraged to use arts and crafts projects to expand their creativity. Our folk dances in the evening are often held at the Craft Courts.
