Camp runs for six weeks each summer, Monday-Thursday, 8:15-3:00. Some campers join us for one week while others come for all six! Our program is for campers going in to kindergarten through grade 8.
Each week brings new opportunities to create, romp, and socialize in a safe and engaging setting. Typical sessions include: fairy houses, fort building, campfire cooking, karaoke, arts and crafts, wood shop, theater, swim lessons (in collaboration with Tamworth Rec), yoga, fishing, nature exploration, running and hiking, jam band, and so much more!
We collaborate with Cook Memorial Library to bring the book mobile twice in the season, giving kids their choice of free books.
We provide a light breakfast, two snacks, and lunch for every camper, ensuring that the kiddos have plenty of energy for their day and taking one more thing off busy families’ plates.
Camp sessions are offered on a sliding scale to Tamworth residents. Sandwich residents can access financial support from the Sandwich Children and Youth Fund. Ossipee, Effingham, Madison, and Freedom residents can access financial support from the Ossipee Children’s Fund. If you’re coming to us from a town other than those listed and need a financial boost, please be in touch with Executive Director, Lianne Prentice.
Preregistration begins in March. For more info or to be added to our camp email list, please reach out to Lianne at director@bearcampcenter.org.
Big thanks to The Tamworth Foundation, the Town of Tamworth voters, the Sandwich Children and Youth Fund, the Ossipee Children’s Fund, the Moultonborough Women’s Club, and the many, many private donors who have contributed to camperships making our camp experience possible for every child.
