▌ Editor's read The North Bennet Street School offers Teen Craft & Trade Intensives, which are week-long day programs for students aged 13-18. These intensives focus on hands-on learning in various traditional crafts such as bookbinding, jewelry making, and woodworking. The school itself is a non-profit educational institution, founded in 1881, and is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC), though not by the ACA as it is a specialized trade school rather than a traditional summer camp. Google reviews for the North Bennet Street School are overwhelmingly positive, with a 4.9-star rating from 100+ reviews, frequently praising the quality of instruction and the unique learning environment. The program details indicate small class sizes, suggesting individualized attention, and the instructors are noted as experienced professionals in their respective fields.

Who thrives here Ages 13–18
North Bennet Street School - Teen Craft & Trade Intensives serves high-school campers, which means the program is competing against summer jobs, college visits, internships, and residential overnight options. The case for a day camp at this age is usually a CIT (counselor-in-training) track, deep specialization in specialty, or a portfolio item parents and kids both value. Programs that don't articulate one of those three usually lose this age band by 9th grade.
