Cultural, social and recreational opportunities, both on and off the campus make Bowdoin a particularly attractive setting for a summer program. Each festival participant is charged a mandatory facility fee which gives him/her access to Bowdoin's practice and performance spaces, libraries, museums, athletic complex, and playing fields. The sports complex includes a 16 lane pool, indoor an outdoor tennis courts and fitness center. The college's Hawthorne-Longfellow Library and the Beckwith Music Library contain a large collection of scores, records, compact discs, and books for the use of festival students and faculty. The college's two museums are also open throughout the summer.

Students can also sign up for outings to nearby beaches, state parks, fairs, movies and other special events as they are planned by the Student Life staff. These outings often require additional funds for admission, food, souvenirs, etc.
