The Massachusetts Army National Guard (MAARNG) is seeking a commercial contractor that will provide two 5-day, 4-night, and over-night co-ed adventure summer camp experiences for Massachusetts National Guard (MANG) children and youth (ages 9-15)  with qualifying housing and dining facilities (see date sets in Section 1.0 and 1.2) . The camp shall gather military children and youth from around Massachusetts to assist them in making connections and developing a peer group with other military youth through shared adventure experiences in a traditional camp environment, which will require sleeping rooms, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and social-recreational activities.
