The Cape Cod Camp Tradition
Lives On
If you loved everything that made a Cape Cod summer camp special — the pond, the freedom, the lifelong friends — Camp Wingate*Kirkland has been carrying that torch since 1957.
Overnight Camp ages 7–16 · Day Camp ages 4–12 · Yarmouth Port, Cape Cod
We know how much Cape Cod Sea Camps meant.
When Cape Cod Sea Camps closed, it left a real gap — generations of families who believed in what a Cape Cod summer could give a child. The friendships, the independence, the magic of being on the water. Camp W*K was built on those same beliefs, and we’ve been living them right here on Cape Cod for nearly 70 years.
Everything you valued. Still here. Still Cape Cod.
We’re not a replacement. We’re the real thing — a deeply rooted Cape Cod camp community growing kids into confident, curious people since 1957.
