2022 Summer Camps Guide

Dear New Hampshire Magazine Readers,

On behalf of NH Camps, I would like to welcome you to this special edition, which focuses on helping your family prepare for camp in 2022. Once again, NH Camps is excited to partner with New Hampshire Magazine in bringing these valuable resources to our communities.

NH Camps is a membership organization for directors, former directors and other camp professionals at New Hampshire’s licensed youth recreation camps. We are proud to collaborate with organizations across the state and strive to be the collective voice for camps in New Hampshire.

In 2021, nearly all camps in New Hampshire operated and successfully re-opened their doors to serve campers from across the region and beyond. While last summer presented unique and significant challenges, the reward was getting thousands of children and counselors back to summer camp, providing opportunities to build relationships, develop skills, connect with nature and unplug from devices.

New Hampshire has a long and rich tradition in camping, extending back almost 130 years. It was here that organized summer camps began, and New Hampshire continues to be home to many of the finest camps and facilities in America. Our beautiful mountains, lakes, forests and fields are ideally suited for every camping activity imaginable.

The New Hampshire Camp Directors’ Association represents day, resident, nonprofit and private camps. The association has more than 100 member camps, all licensed by the State of New Hampshire. For more information on member camps, please visit our website at www.nhcamps.org.

Enjoy your summer!

KEN ROBBINS PRESIDENT, NH CAMPS
