Program Dates: June 21-28, 2026

We are on a mission to create fun and engaging retreats that teach students vital skills for effective leadership and communication in environmental movements.

This opportunity is ideal for engaged high school students who are interested in nature, environmental and marine science, conservation, climate hope, art, and journalism.

Students spend a week exploring the natural setting of Martha’s Vineyard and the island’s local environmental issues. Bluedot partners with experts, including Dava Newman (NASA and MIT Media Lab) and Robert Mnoonkin (Harvard Law Professor), to provide expert workshops, mentorships, and guidance for the students. Learn more.

Youth participants will:

  • Have fun as part of a close-knit cohort of outstanding students

  • Explore unique landscapes through field trips and guided tours with local experts

  • Participate in hands-on sessions with leaders in communication, negotiation, journalism, and environmental issues

  • Learn leadership skills critical for any future path

  • Prepare and deliver a speech as the week’s capstone project
