Camp Winaukee

What Camp Winaukee does

Camp Winaukee is a privately held, all-boys overnight summer camp founded in 1920 and located on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee in Moultonborough, New Hampshire. It serves boys ages 7 to 15 through 2-week, 3-week, 4-week, and 7-week residential sessions, operating two distinct campuses: The Mainland for ages 7–12, which provides a structured program with 50% camper-chosen activities, and The Island, a private 60-acre island campus for ages 13–15 offering a 100% elective-based program with advanced facilities including an NCAA regulation indoor basketball arena and a waterfront fleet.

The camp's core offering spans team sports (basketball, soccer, baseball, lacrosse, football, golf, hockey, tennis), an extensive waterfront program on Lake Winnipesaukee (water skiing, wakeboarding, sailing, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing), Winaukee Arts & Making (W.A.A.M.), and outdoor adventure programming including ropes courses and overnight trips. Operations are supported by the CampInTouch third-party management platform for enrollment and family communication, a dedicated digital media team, and a virtual tour produced by an external vendor. The camp employs over 100 seasonal staff across leadership, counseling, waterfront, sports instruction, arts, kitchen, maintenance, housekeeping, transportation, media, office, accounting, and medical functions.

Commercially, Camp Winaukee runs a direct-to-consumer enrollment model: families apply through the camp's website, call a 1-800 number, or email the directors directly. Tuition is published per session for Summer 2027 at $5,500 (Rookie Experience, 2 weeks), $10,150 (First Session, 4 weeks), $8,050 (Second Session, 3 weeks), and $16,400 (Full Summer, 7 weeks), with early-bird, sibling, and alumni discounts layered on top. A cross-property partnership with sister camp Camp Wicosuta provides sibling discounts across both camps. Marketing is conducted through an owned blog, social channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok), the Winaukee Chatter podcast, virtual tours, email newsletters, and participation in industry conferences such as the American Camp Association Tri-State Conference. The company is independently owned with no disclosed institutional investment, parent company, or public listing.
