Hog Island Explore Camps

90th Anniversary Weekend Session

Join us for a special celebratory weekend on Hog Island! Expect a 'homecoming' atmosphere as friends, old and new, come together to enjoy classic Hog Island camp experiences.

Enjoy the best of Hog Island—including boat trips, hikes, bird walks, and intertidal exploration—as we reflect on the island's rich history through shared stories, memories, and moments to connect with each other and the landscape. Friday evening we say thank you to the Friends of Hog Island during the FOHI appreciation dinner prior to a special keynote address. On Saturday, the island will open to the community for the Hog Island Open House. Instructors and staff will be running concurrent lectures, walks, and science activities for all ages. As Open House guests depart from the island, Weekend Session participants will gather for a final dinner and closing program. Registration for the weekend session includes the FOHI Appreciation Dinner and Open House.
