Archery & Riflery

Two classic camp activities that no camp experience is complete without. If you’ve done it before or just trying for the first time, it doesn’t matter. Camp staff will be present to offer guidance and pointers along the way.

Arts & Crafts

Tap in to your creative side down at Arts & Crafts. From necklace making, to painting and drawing, to tie-dye there is something for everyone to enjoy. Explore your creativity!

Boating Beach

Take out canoes, kayaks and sailboats onto beautiful Lake Winnipesaukee and explore all that it has to offer. Staff will be assigned and available to help with boats and guidance on the beach.

East Beach

Open and available for swimming and use of the beach each morning. Lifeguards are assigned and on duty.

Ropes Course

Come swing the in trees in our high ropes course. Challenge yourself or new heights while you play in the trees and push yourself in adventurous ways you didn’t think you could.

Tots

Looking for something to keep the little ones entertained? A fun activity will be planned for each day for children aged between 2-5 years old. Drop your tots off and let them see what fun they can find in camp.

Waterskiing

Hit the lake and waterski as the sun rises off of our main dock each morning or join us afternoons at our West Beach.
