There are separate and private showers for adults.

 

Program Area

This coming summer's program will be in the brand new state of the art auditorium which has AC!

 

Sleeping Arrangements

This school has dorms but the campers will not be sleeping in them as they are not air conditioned.  The sleeping area will be in the academic buildings which do have a/c so the teens and chaperones will need air mattresses, similar to all of our other camps.

 

Additional Information

The Manchester, NH Airport is the closer (and usually cheaper) airport to fly into.  Manchester is 25 min away - Boston (Logan) is 45 - 60 min away.
