Summer joy in motion ☀️💦 Our NextGen Explorers filled summer 2026 with learning, laughter, friendship, and plenty of fun. Thank you to everyone who helped make these moments possible! 💜 #HigherGroundBoston #NextGenExplorers

Our NextGen Explorers had a summer full of creativity and community! ☀️ Highlights included journaling, designing original T-shirts, Library Week, Superhero Day, birthday celebrations, and a visit to The Embrace honoring Dr. King and Coretta Scott King. 💜 #HigherGroundBoston

🔬 Our NextGen Explorers became young investigators this summer! They explored the Museum of Science, the botanical garden, and forensic science through High Touch High Tech. Hands-on discovery helped students practice curiosity, teamwork, and critical thinking. 🔎

💦 SUMMER HIGHLIGHTS: MAKING A SPLASH Our NextGen Explorers swam, sailed, visited splash pads and rode the Swan Boats this summer. Thank you to Piers Park Sailing for helping our young people experience Boston Harbor! ⛵ #HigherGroundBoston #BostonYouth
