Summer Camp
The Summer Camp Hotel
OAK BLUFFS, MA
The renovation and reimagination of the harbor side hotel formerly called The Wesley was a major project, both in scope and in spirit.
With 95 accommodations, a sprawling lounge, game room, and canteen, it represented the largest commercial undertaking to date for Reider + Co. With the name Summercamp, we set out to create a modern interpretation of the spirit of camp; an inclusive place to gather, relax, refresh, and reconnect.
The interiors are casual and fun, capturing the carefree essence of summer without being overly thematic. High textural materials like seagrass wall coverings and breezy linens embody the light and airy island environment. At the same time, vintage tennis rackets and hand-painted arrows harken back to the simpler days of childhood and outdoor recreation. The resulting common spaces and guest rooms are a natural balance of free-spirited fun, subtle high design, and grown-up amenities.
The renovation of Summer Camp has earned industry-wide acclaim, including the Best Boutique Hotel, Martha’s Vineyard designation in Boston Magazine's Best of Boston 2026 awards.
