CAMP SACAJAWEA/ STEPPINSTONE

The RecCom continues its relationship with our tenant, the Greater Lawrence Educational
Collaborative. Their summer day camp program for severely handicapped children operates
during July and August. Camp Steppingstone still takes care of most if not all of the routine
maintenance.

Boy Scout and Girl Scout groups use the facilities during weekend and off-season periods and
are regularly involved in trail maintenance at the camp and for Spring cleaning chores. Boxford
organizations and individuals may enjoy the Stiles pond waterfront at the camp for picnics and
outings by applying to the RecCom for availability and use conditions.

TRAILS

Everyone who enjoys the Boxford trails system owes a special "Thank you" to many volunteers
and the BTA/BOLT, Inc. trails committee. Volunteers maintain the Boxford trail system which
includes the Bay Circuit trail thru Boxford. Trail users often return after a walk/run, as a
volunteer, to remove a downed tree from the trail or cut back brush that is growing into the trail.
Boxford is a "volunteer town." Every year BTA/BOLT thanks the two Boy Scout Troops for
their keen interest in helping maintain the Boxford trail system.

Memberships and donations to BTA/BOLT's IRS tax-exempt 501c3 organization are always
appreciated so that all Boxford children, adults and visitors may develop a love of the outdoors
through utilization of our well-maintained trail system.

The fourth edition of "The Boxford Bay Circuit Guide To Walks in and around Boxford," has
been renamed Boxford Trail Guide. The first guide book, The Bay Circuit Guide to Walks in and
around Boxford was printed in 1991 with a grant from the National Park Service River & Trail
Conservation Assistance Program. Two other updates were printed in 1995 and 2005.

This trails guide book, a children's trail/nature activities book, and the Boxford Trail Map, are
available through BTA/BOLT (978-887-7031), the Boxford Town Hall, Boxford Library,
Wayne's Community Store, and West Boxford Provisions.
