Camp Birchmont
EXPERIENCE ‘GOOD TIMES & PERSONAL GROWTH’
Our overnight camp gives your children the opportunity to begin the transition from home and family to the independence of creating a new “home away from home.” Camp Birchmont is a community that fosters a caring and engaging environment in a beautiful camp setting. We encourage our campers to actively participate in camp life and broaden their horizons by making new friends and trying new experiences. At Birchmont, the highest values are placed on friendship, mutual respect, and fun.
On a practical level, the newly-acquired camper skills of taking care of one’s self, organizing personal belongings, sharing cabin chores, and striving for better performance on the fields and courts empower children in positive and discernible ways. Learning new activities to which a child may have had no previous exposure is as fulfilling for us to teach as it is for children to discover. In the area of personal development, the overnight camp experience enables children to grow and form strong bonds that last a lifetime.
Cabin life at Birchmont teaches each child to be supportive and supported in their time at camp. Our campers learn the importance of cooperation, consideration, and camaraderie, creating a natural sense of community spirit. Our 300 beautiful acres are situated between the White Mountains and Lake Wentworth — one of the most magnificent lakes in all of New England. Your children will spend nights stargazing in open fields, and experience the wonderment of sights and sounds so different from their own backyard.
The Birchmont experience is the perfect combination of good times and personal growth. As owners and directors, we take a consistent participatory role so we get to know all of our campers’ needs and ensure each of their well-beings.
Join us in the spectacular Lakes Region of southern New Hampshire for an experience that will last a lifetime!
