Not sure of the day camp situation but you could rent something nice in the North Conway area.

You could stay on cape cod and put your kid in a camp there - there are a lot of sailing camps of your kids want to learn to sail

I assume you mean per week? On the Cape you can get some for $3k/week. Not familiar with the rental prices in other locations but $3k/week should be doable in western MA if you stay away from Lenox.

It's gorgeous there! It's right across the bay from Portland which has a lot of great restaurants.

And the August weather is wonderful.

Southern NH is basically suburban Boston so will have the most day camp options.
The farther north you go the closer you are to lakes and mountains.
Personally I prefer the vibe in and near Burlington VT.

I’d love to spend a month in New England now that we can remote work. I’m looking for somewhere decently pretty, close to hikes with the possibility of a summer day camp for the kids. What affordable city should I be looking at? I looked at Bar Harbor but it was too expensive. Somewhere in New Hampshire or VT?
