2022 season recap

The 2022 season, our 11th summer, was epic. We had so much fun working with our campers in their watersports progression. It was also equally rewarding to see the campers...returning and new...grow as individuals and as a group in the camp setting. Add to that nearly perfect weather and a dream staff and we could not be happier with how things went.

  • We clocked 514 hours on 3 boats…Maverick (Marley), Iceman and Bob (thanks Wheelan family for letting us have Bob back for a week while Maverick was in the shop)

  • Our boats had 18 motor oil changes, 1 transmission oil change, 1 blown water pump and 1 blown engine (yikes)

  • 2,997.878 gallons of premium gas burned producing roughly 27.196 metric tons of CO2 which we offset with contributions to the Society For The Protection of New Hampshire Forests and CoolEffect.org . Our contributions this year will offset about 75 metric tons of CO2 with the extra going towards camper travel to and from camp!

  • We have now offset around 375 metric tons of CO2 since 2012!

And as a parting gift…here is a great fall recipe from Chef Cher: Apple Cider Muffins

We sincerely hope to see all of our campers back here in 2023 and to welcome many more fresh faces to the camp family.

Always feel free to email, call, write, DM, text or stop by to say hello!
