DCR Summer Nights Program

Programming will run through late August

The DCR Summer Nights program was launched in 2015 to provide targeted urban young people aged 13-21 in urban areas with the opportunity to join in on recreational and educational activities during evening hours. Recognizing the tremendous success of this program, and the safe, inclusive, and fun events it provides for young people, it has been significantly expanded over the past eleven years as has its reach.

This summer, DCR is partnering with 102 organizations to provide recreational programming to urban youth at approximately 135 locations statewide including Attleboro, Boston (Allston, Brighton, Chinatown, Dorchester, Downtown, East Boston, Hyde Park, Jamaica Plain, Mattapan, Roxbury, South Boston, and South End), Bridgewater, Brockton, Cambridge, Chelsea, Chicopee, Easthampton, Everett, Fitchburg, Haverhill, Holyoke, Lawrence, Lowell, Lynn, Methuen, Milton, New Bedford, Pittsfield, Quincy, Randolph, Salem, Springfield, Stoughton, Taunton, Westfield, and Worcester. 

Programming will run through late August and features a wide range of activities, including basketball, volleyball, yoga, dance, martial arts, flag football, corn-hole, fishing, ping-pong, cardio boxing, swimming, camping, rowing, kayaking, cooking, painting, Zumba, dodgeball, tennis and nature exploration. Participants will also have access to activities focused on leadership skill building, health and wellness, poetry, academic tutoring, storytelling, animation, music, media production, and career and college readiness programs.  Additionally, three of this year’s providers will be offering accessible and adaptive programs for theater arts, swimming and kayaking. The program also offers free ferry passes for Summer Nights participants and their families to the Boston Harbor Islands through Boston Harbor Now.  For a full list of programming, please see below.
