Cape Cod Multisport



The Best Cape Cod Trip Out There!
Cape Cod Loaded! Newport, Rafting, Riding, Kayaking, Fishing
EASY BIKING PLUS RAFTING, HORSEBACK RIDING, SEA KAYAKING, DEEP SEA FISHING      18DAYS
Trip #MVC

This trip gives you Classic Cape Cod PLUS!!

MVC begins with an exciting day of refting on the Deerfield River near SHP Headquarters. We'll take the group to Newport, Rhode Island for a day of spectacular cycling along the shoreline. Step back in time as you tour a famous, fabulous mansion from America's Gilded Age and explore the picturesque harbor at Newport.


Then on to the Cape, with all the best activities, fun, and more. On the Cape, SHP trippers experience everything that has attracted vacationers for decades - cycling the bike trails past cranberry bogs, through sun-drenched seaside villages, with a rest stop for blueberry ice cream, lemonade or gooey saltwater taffy.

Explore coves and look for marine birds on an afternoon sea kayaking trip. Add horseback riding in Brewster, a deep sea fishing trip, a cookout or kite-flying on a beach, a climb up into a lighthouse, and taking some time to explore those intriguing, funky shops. Maybe catch a movie at Wellfleet's drive-in theater!

On the whale-watch from Provincetown, it takes only about 20 minutes to get out to where the whales are found. Before you know it, your group is off to Boston for a final two days of sightseeing – history, culture, street performers, and great food.

“I am tardy in responding to your request for parental comment on last summer’s trips, but I want nonetheless to let you know how pleased my husband and I both were with the kids’ experience.

Nick in particular benefited even more than we hoped he would. He went into his senior year on an upward wave of enthusiasm, self-confidence, and spirit of adventure that we feel has made a significant contribution to his whole life. He has approached the whole difficult experience of college interviews and applications with a positive approach that we feel is a direct carryover from his trip. And he is taking a much more active and self-confident role in his school than he did before, as well.

Increased self-confidence and enthusiasm about his trip have been equally evident in Jeff, and I feel the positive feelings about himself and his experience have made the transition from a small local school to a large regional high school much easier for him to deal with.

As for Peter, he enjoyed his trip and did some valuable growing up as well, although he is not ready to make such significant strides in that area as the two older boys.

We have been recommending your program to other families. I hope you will be hearing from them.”
