History of the LINX Companies
Joe Kahn, a parent of two young children, had a vision for a company that would enable children to learn new things while having fun. In 2005, after countless interviews and discussions with parents, educators, business people, and more, The LINX Companies was launched to provide premier enrichment classes for the MetroWest community.
From the very start, the LINX Companies set itself apart by offering a unique combination of nurturing and growing the confidence and interests of children in a fun-based environment and being able to rapidly respond and innovate. By adding a team of outstanding people, who love working with children, and staying strongly focused on premier programming, we grew year after year:
- LINX Theater, working on original, theatrical productions, debuted in 2006. By 2010, it had expanded to include classes for aspiring performers in preschool through high school and, in addition to original productions, a Broadway program featuring licensed titles.
- LINX Dance Studio opened in 2008 to offer recreational dance classes to children aged 3 to18. In 2010, the studio expanded to include a competitive dance program.
- LINX Camps launched in 2009. It leveraged all the creativity from the LINX classes of art, martial arts, pottery, science, sports, dance, and theater, to develop unique and exciting camp programs. Mixing traditional camp values with a modern approach and a compassionate staff, LINX Camps offers families the ability to create a custom summer camp experience.
- NEOC (New England Outdoor Camp) launched in 2022. It was developed with the fresh insight into child development and learning and play in outdoor environments that the leadership team had gained while running programs during the pandemic summers of 2022 and 2021. The camp is a throw-back to vintage summer camps where children explored and played outside at an easy pace and without any technology at all.
In 2021, we embraced a new strategic vision, focused on our flagship summer camp. To enable the new direction, the LINX Companies spun-off its dance and theater divisions into two independent companies, each run by veterans of LINX Dance Studio and LINX Theater.
Since our founding, our year-round company office has been located along Linden Street in Wellesley, MA, giving us deep roots in the local community. We take great pride in the premier camp programs we offer and the support we provide to local PTAs, school performing arts programs, and family-focused groups.
