2021 Camp Information

We remain optimistic about the 2021 camp season and are planning to provide children with what will be a much-needed, fun-filled summer camp experience. We continue to closely monitor information about COVID-19 and will make adjustments according to the guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), American Camp Association (ACA), YMCA of the USA and the State of New Hampshire. As always, we remain committed to maintaining a safe, clean and healthy environment for our staff and campers. We will update our website and send out email communication to registered camp families as we learn more.
