Welcome back to Camp Wanocksett. Since 1924 tens of thousands of young people have enjoyed summers as campers and staff on the shores of Thorndike Pond. Many of those campers have moved on to families and careers. Others have relocated to other parts of the country. Some are local and continue to support Camp Wanocksett today.
We treasure the memories of our time at Camp Wanocksett. We recognize that Scout summer camp was a unique experience that helped our personal development and enriched our childhood. Today, through Camp Wanocksett, Nashua Valley Council continues to make these same rich experiences available to the next generation of young people.
We invite all of our camp alumni, former staffers, parents, and friends to support the Wanocksett Experience, for today's youth and for generations to come.
