Programs
SUMMARY
Berwick's winter program is held each
weekend, from September to June, at the headquarters building located in
West Bridgewater, MA. We also have a 6-7 week summer program that takes
place on Dyer Island, off the coast of Milbridge, Maine.
SUMMER PROGRAM
The summer activities take place during
the six to seven week camping season on Dyer Island. This 750 acre
island, "Down East" from Bar Harbor, is owned entirely by the Berwick
Boys Foundation and is an excellent location for a boy's camp of this
type. The Island has a beautiful stand of virgin timber and several
natural harbors, making it very conducive to a rugged way of life at
camp.
WINTER PROGRAM
The winter program provides the boys with
the opportunity to become familiar with the Berwick philosophy. It is
from the competitive winter program that boys are selected to go to
Maine for the summer.
SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
The foundation's co-founders each received
extensive scholarship aid for their education to become doctors. They
felt that they should, in return for this generosity, provide a similar
opportunity for others.
