Camp Chenoa – Antrim, NH

Discover the adventure and magic of Camp Chenoa!

Climbing Tower Camp Chenoa is the camp that Girl Power built! Camp Chenoa celebrates its 19th season in 2010. Spend an incredible summer at this overnight camp making friends, making memories and making your dreams come true. Chenoa campers come from NH, VT, MA and even from across the United States! You'll share camp with just 175 girls per one week or two week session or a four day option at the end of the summer! Camp Chenoa is a place where younger campers can grow up a little and have a positive first camping experience and older campers can learn new skill and inspire younger girls.

The campers and staff in each unit will brainstorm, plan and carry out their unique camp experience. Staff will use the program description and unit expectations to guide campers in creating a program that is well-rounded, geared to their age and skill level and incorporates the opinions of all girls.

Facilities

There are 300 awesome acres of forests, meadows and rocks
to explore. Swim and boat in 200-acre Gregg Lake or explore our own beaver bog. You might have the chance to climb our 35-foot climbing tower or tackle our natural bouldering areas!
Your home away from home will be a cabin or Adirondack shelters, all with built-in bunk beds and lots of shelf space. You'll live in a unit with 10-20 girls who signed up for the same program as you and are all similar ages. A nearby wash house has sinks and toilets and a shower house is centrally located.
Three delicious meals a day are served in our dining hall overlooking Gregg Lake. Breakfast and dinner are family style with favorites like French toast, pancakes, spaghetti and chicken nuggets. Lunch is a buffet with lots of choices. There is always peanut butter and jelly, at breakfast we have a cereal and bagel bar and at lunch and dinner there is a salad bar. Staff will always work to accommodate allergy and diet needs.

Staff

Our Chenoa staff of 45 women come from across the United States and around the world. Many of our staff are returning from previous summers. Staff members participate in 8 days of precamp training and have been hired because of their commitment to girls.
You'll have two or four counselors who spend the session with you. They will help you plan activities that interest you, are fun and allow you to try new things! That means a camper to counselor ratio of 4:1.
