What is International Weekend?

The tradition of International weekend at Sandy Island began years ago as a cooperation between the International and Camping Services branches of the Greater Boston YMCA. Today the tradition continues with International families that have been coming to enjoy Sandy Island for years. As a pre-season event, Sandy Island will be operating with limited program staff. The program schedule is coordinated by long time returning campers. This weekend is a great way to experience the Island for those that aren’t able to attend during the regular camping season.
