Welcome to Wanakee!
Wanakee is a Christian summer camp in New Hampshire’s Lakes Region, offering seven weeks of programming for children, youth, and adults. At the heart of camp is a community of radical acceptance, where campers build meaningful connections and grow personally, socially, and spiritually.
Why Wanakee?
Personal
At our small camp, every camper is known, valued, and supported—not just a number.
Unplugged
Tech-free and rustic, camp gives kids a break from screens and days filled with outdoor adventure.
WELCOMING
Our small-group model builds friendships and a sense of belonging, giving campers a place to be themselves.
New Experiences
Each week has its own theme and flavor, with programs for a wide range of interests. There’s something for everyone.
A Summer Outdoors
Our lake, wooded trails, and New Hampshire’s Lakes Region setting make nature part of every camp day.
AFFORDABLE
Tuition is about half the state average, with scholarships available. We’ve never turned a child away for lack of funds.

CAMPERS SAY…
The staff was so kind and welcoming and I met so many amazing people. All of the activities were so fun and inclusive. I loved being able to hang out with my friends and I made so many new friends. I am so grateful for the supportive staff and counselors. The atmosphere is so kind here and I will always consider Wanakee a second home. All week I have been accepted for who I truly am and grown in my faith along the way. The way that Wanakee makes you feel is such a cherished special feeling and I hope everyone gets to feel that at least once. THANK YOU WANAKEE!
PARENTS SAY…
When [our son] came home on Saturday, my husband and I couldn't believe how much he changed. It was like he matured a year in a week! He is normally a quiet kid who doesn't like to share much about his day during the school year, but camp was different. He wanted us to know EVERYTHING. He talked non-stop the whole ride home. He didn't leave a detail out, whether it was about his cabin, his favorite meal, his favorite activity, or the fact he was so proud he passed the deep-end test...
Our once nervous, anxious first-time camper has asked repeatedly when he can sign up.
