Hale Education | Kids Out and About Boston

Hale Education

Hale Education, Inc. is a private nonprofit widely recognized for our flagship camps, youth programs, family and community activities, school partnerships, and professional development opportunities. Hale believes nature, education, and recreation inspire us to learn, empower us to lead, and challenge us all to create a world in which people, place, and purpose are united.

We serve several thousand children and families from 70 Greater Boston communities annually, and invite visitors to enjoy our 1,100+ acres of forests, ponds, and meadows in Westwood and Dover, Massachusetts. Our programs and land management practices are the legacy of our founder, Robert Sever Hale, who encouraged people to patronize the property in ways that are “charitable and benevolent in nature…to provide education which will develop intelligent, capable, and responsible citizens.”

Hale is open for recreation daily and trails are freely accessible during current hours. Any vehicle without a member parking decal is subject to a $10 daily parking fee, payable in person at the gate. Contact-free payment is available and encouraged.

Hale offers a variety of events for all age.
