Copper Cannon Camp

Copper Cannon Camp is the only completely tuition-free summer camp experience for children living in New Hampshire. Our founder, Hamilton Ford, overcame an underprivileged childhood and was changed by a summer camp experience he and his family had. He decided then and there that summer camp was something that every child, regardless of background or financial status, deserved to experience. And over 50 years and 20,000 campers later, we uphold that same belief to this day.

A week at Copper Cannon provides so much more than just games and activities. A week at Copper Cannon is a chance to make friendships and memories that can last a lifetime. It’s an opportunity to get great, healthy meals and learn about nutrition and family mealtime dynamics. It’s a chance to find out that things that are educational can also be fun as we seek to reduce summer learning loss while still showing kids the time of their lives. And a week of camp can be a chance for children to try new things, to gain confidence in themselves, to learn new skills and to get out of their comfort zone.
