Kingswood Camp, located in the White Mountain National Forest region of New Hampshire, provides a unique New England summer camping experience for boys, ages 8 and up. Visitors to Kingswood are immediately struck by the low key, friendly atmosphere of our camp community.
During each time block, boys get to choose from a host of activities — waterfront, team sports and individual activities — all enjoyed within a safe and happy environment. Have fun exploring Kingswood, and if you wish to get to know us better, please contact us.
Kingswood is Accredited
ACA accreditation means the camp provides a safe and healthy camp environment. Kingswood works diligently to adhere to the ACA’s rigid set of standards in camp site, administration, personnel, health care, and camp program.
Kingswood’s Facilities
Since our purchase of Kingswood in 1984, every building has either been rebuilt or has had a major “face-lift.” Our maintenance team scrutinizes every inch of our campus and buildings before children arrive each summer. A camp tour for each cabin is always scheduled on the first night at camp. Counselors orient new and returning campers to their surroundings – most important on that first tour are the bathhouses and the infirmary!
