2024 Summer Camps Guide Welcome From NH Camps
Dear Readers,
On behalf of New Hampshire Camps, welcome to this publication focused on all things summer camp! Thank you to New Hampshire Magazine for bringing these expert voices to life through this resource.
NH Camps represents day, resident, nonprofit and private camps across the state. Our association has more than 90 member camps licensed by the state of New Hampshire. Serving as the collective voice for camps throughout New Hampshire, NH Camps is proud to collaborate with organizations across the state. We are thrilled this year to be partnering with the New Hampshire Department of Education in the “Rekindling Curiosity” program, which offers financial assistance for camp to qualifying children. For information about which camps are participating, what the qualifications are and how to apply for this assistance program, please click here.
Our member camps relish the opportunity to spread the word about the value of camp to prospective and current camp families. In this publication, several camp professionals offer timely words of wisdom to support you in planning for this summer.
The theme for this special issue is “Why Camp?” Our belief is that camp can be the antidote for challenges that youth face across society. For those who have attended a summer camp program before, this concept will likely make sense. Others may think it is a bold statement, but it is one we wholeheartedly believe in. We hope this collection of articles will identify the many ways a summer camp experience can benefit your child and inspire you to start planning for this summer.
Organized summer camp programs began in New Hampshire almost 130 years ago and that long, rich tradition continues to this day. We at NH Camps are proud to say there truly is a camp program for everyone!

Enjoy your summer!
