Camp Allen NH Launches NH Gives 2026 Campaign to Keep Pool Time Flowing

As Camp Allen NH celebrates 95 years of creating meaningful summer experiences, we're proud to once again participate in NH Gives, New Hampshire's statewide 24-hour online giving event.

NH Gives begins at 5pm on June 9 and ends on 5pm on June 10.

This year's campaign focuses on an important need ahead of summer camp season: replacing an essential pool pump, covering installation and maintenance costs to ensure campers can continue enjoying safe, accessible pool time for years to come.

More Than a Place to Cool Off

For many of the more than 800 campers Camp Allen NH serves each year, the pool is much more than a way to beat the New Hampshire summer heat.

Water activities can provide recreation, sensory support, confidence-building opportunities and greater freedom of movement for individuals with developmental and/or physical challenges. For some campers, the pool offers a unique opportunity to move more freely than they can on land. For others, it serves as a place to connect with friends and simply enjoy the magic of summer camp.

Pool time creates memories that last long after summer ends.

Our Goal: $15,000

Through NH Gives 2026, Camp Allen NH is seeking to raise $15,000 to replace the pool pump, cover installation and maintenance costs before campers arrive for the season. Every dollar raised helps ensure that one of camp's most popular and impactful activities remains available for the hundreds of campers and families who rely on Camp Allen NH each summer.

A $5,000 Matching Gift Challenge

Thanks to the generosity of Tom Aites and two anonymous donors, the first $5,000 raised during NH Gives will be MATCHED DOLLAR-FOR-DOLLAR. This matching gift challenge means donations can go TWICE as far, helping Camp Allen NH reach its goal and maximize support for campers.

New Way to Get Involved

Supporters can now create their own NH Gives fundraiser and invite friends, family, coworkers and community members to join the effort. These fundraising pages help spread awareness of Camp Allen NH's mission while encouraging even more people to support the campaign.

Following NH Gives, fundraisers with the most supporters and highest totals raised will receive special recognition across Camp Allen NH communication channels.

Will You Dive In?

NH Gives takes place on June 9 starting at 5pm and runs until 5pm on June 10, 2026.

Whether you choose to donate, create a fundraiser or help spread the word, your support helps keep inclusive summer experiences flowing for campers of all abilities. Together, we can help ensure another summer filled with friendship, confidence, belonging and fun!
