Our mission is to connect campers with nature in a friendly and caring environment so that they may gain a greater respect for nature as well as our role in protecting it. Wildwood is a special place where campers come together to discover and explore the natural world. Our campers roast s’mores over open fires, sleep under the stars, sing silly songs, paddle around Hubbard Pond, and fall in love with nature each day. Campers have fun as they explore the outdoors, make friends, and develop self-confidence and leadership skills that last a lifetime. Located in southern New Hampshire, Wildwood is a one-of-a-kind camp for youth ages 6–17. 1
