Charlestown Kids Tour Boston Harbor Islands

Over 70 kids from the Charlestown Boys and Girls Club recently visited the Boston Harbor Islands National Park in July as part of the Save the Harbor/Save the Bay’s free All Access Boston Harbor program.

More than 5,000 youth and teens have taken part in the free program so far this summer, which brings area youth groups to Spectacle, Peddocks, and Georges Island for a fun filled day of environmental exploration and healthy outdoor activities, including fishing, crabbing, swimming and art on the shore.

“The Boston Harbor Islands are important educational and recreational resources for youth development and community groups from across the city and around the region” said Bruce Berman, who serves as Director of Strategy, Communications and Programs for Save the Harbor/Save the Bay. “They are also a great place to spend a summer day.”

Save the Harbor/Save the Bay is a non-profit public-interest Boston Harbor environmental advocacy organization whose mission is to restore and protect Boston Harbor, the Boston Harbor Islands, our region’s public beaches and the marine environment and share them with the public for everyone to enjoy.
