The BEST way to get from Boston to the Cape: Tour da Cape!

Tour da Cape is scheduled for June 14th – are you ready?!

Save the date for June 14th for this year’s Tour Da Cape ride from Needham to BREWSTER this year. That’s right, we’re going the distance and heading straight to the Dream Day Camp. Once again this year, we’ll also have the Bridge to Brewster race!

We are grateful for their ongoing friendship and support. Here is a clip of Lions friends out at camp this past year, working hard on their cabin!
