  • Mission

    The mission of Hale is to offer educational and recreational opportunities that develop self-confidence, inspire a passion for learning, and encourage an appreciation for the natural environment.

    About Us

    Hale is a private, non-profit education organization that manages 1,137 acres of adventure in Westwood and Dover, Massachusetts. Widely recognized for our summer day camp programs, leadership and team building programs, and membership beach, we serve more than 15,000 children and families from 70 Greater Boston communities. We also welcome the general public and encourage visitors to enjoy our woodlands, meadows, and ponds.

    Our programs and land management practices are the legacy of our founder, Robert Sever Hale, who permitted use of his land "so long as it is charitable and benevolent in nature... to provide education which will develop intelligent, capable and responsible citizens."
