Camp Hale

Introduction

Located on Squam Lake in Sandwich, NH, Camp Hale offers youth the opportunity to experience a sleepaway camp in the natural beauty of the White Mountains. Camp Hale serves 225+ boys and girls each summer, ages 5-15 years, with the goal of increasing their sense of well-being, independence, and leadership skills.

Providing a multi-cultural experience, campers meet and interact with people from diverse racial, ethnic, and socio-economic backgrounds. Our cabins comprise of diverse groups who eat, sleep, work, play, and travel together. Respect for others and the celebration of differences are integrated into all aspects of camp activities. Counselors and program staff members mentor the youth and teach them team-building, leadership, and the hard, yet rewarding, work that goes into setting and achieving goals.
