Welcome to the Merrimack Valley YMCA Camps, where we have over 100 years of traditions. We operate two overnight camps on Lake Winnipesaukee’s Bear Island in New Hampshire: Camp Lawrence for boys aged 8-16 and Camp Nokomis for girls aged 8-16. We also run a Family Camp for 9 days at the end of the summer at Camp Lawrence. Lastly, we operate a day camp and travel camp located on Captain’s Pond in Salem, NH: Camp Otter and Road Rangers Travel Camp for boys and girls aged 6-14.

The Merrimack Valley YMCA Camps also has an alumni base that reaches far and wide. We have former campers and staff living all over the world. Currently we are in touch with over 1000 alumni from our camps. We are able to stay connected with them through events and newsletters.
