Boston's Premier Caribbean Carnival Camp

Est. Boston Carnival SeasonA mas camp built by Caribbean women, for Caribbean women

Our Story

Rooted in culture. Built for the gyals who play mas with pride.

Caribbean Gyals Gone Madd is an all-inclusive Carnival camp for women who want the full mas experience — luxury costuming, real sisterhood, and a road march that feels like coming home. Presented by Back To The Roots, we exist to put Caribbean culture, and the women who carry it, front and center of Boston's carnival season.

Every member joins a camp family that fêtes together, trains together, and crosses the stage together — from the first measurement appointment to the last wine down the road.

  • Mission-Driven
  • Women Empowerment
  • Caribbean Unity
  • Culture First
  • Community Over Everything
  • Vision: Boston's #1 Camp
