The newest hotel in Oak Bluffs is also the oldest. After an off-season transformation, the 137-year-old Wesley Hotel has been reborn as Summercamp, which opens for business on Thursday, May 19.

The new name was inspired by the Camp Ground's long history as a summer camp for Methodists, and the vision for the hotel is summery, with bright yellow front doors and a color palette of teals, mint, yellow, rust red and navy.
