About Us
Concord is looking for campers that are excited about making and keeping friends, enjoying the outdoors, wanting to build their social skills, gain confidence, and having a summer of laughs and fond memories.
Concord provides a safe environment for campers to learn, grow and have fun. We pride ourselves in meeting every new camper and family before coming to camp to ensure proper placement in cabins and activities. We will design your camper’s individualized program around their interests. It’s also great to make a connection and to see a familiar face on the first day of camp. We’ll be there to lend an ear or give a high five!
ACTIVITIES AT CAMP
At Camp Concord, we offer a wide variety of activities for the camper to learn or hone their skills. Our individualized program allows the campers to decide on activities even before they arrive at camp. This gives them something to look forward to and lowers their anxiety. The good news is, if you try the activity once and don't like it, then we switch you out the next day to try something new.
Tripping at Camp Concord, we believe that campers need the proper skills to really explore the outdoor environment. Campers are taught trip planning, map and compass reading, fire building, stove operation, cooking and campsite management.
ACTIVITY HIGHLIGHT: SWIMMING
The swimming pool is the focal point of many fun games and learning activities we offer at camp. Campers will become strong swimmers and develop knowledge of water safety and waterfront rules. Daily instruction combined with general swims and swimming games are a central feature of the camp.
