Our overnight camp sessions at Camp Allen NH are designed to offer flexibility and fun! You can choose from five-day sessions (Sunday to Friday) or eight-day sessions (Sunday to the following Monday). Campers are welcome to attend multiple sessions, with a brief home break between each to rest and recharge.

Each day at Camp Allen NH is filled with exciting activities, new experiences and opportunities for personal growth. From morning to evening, campers engage in a variety of programs tailored to their interests and abilities, all within a supportive and joyful environment. Activities include arts and crafts, singing, dancing, swimming and sports such as basketball and soccer.

Campers can require 1:1 support at Camp Allen NH for a variety of reasons. If a camper requires full assistance with their Activities of Daily Living, has frequent seizures or requires constant behavioral monitoring, we ask that you enroll them as a 1:1 to ensure their needs are met. In other cases, campers enjoy the companionship of a 1:1 counselor, which is welcomed as well. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us as we’re here to help determine the best support for your loved one.

Yes, to an extent. Our Nursing Team’s primary role is to dispense medication and care for any bumps and bruises that happen along the way. Campers are expected to come to camp healthy, and it is our duty to maintain their health and safety while they are in our care. Camp Allen NH’s Nursing Team can handle many medical needs, but we do not provide individualized 24/7 nursing care. If you have questions, please contact us before submitting your camper’s application.

Yes, to an extent. Behavior is a form of communication and we pride ourselves on adhering to that fact. Our counselors are trained on how to respond to various camper behavior challenges while maintaining the safety of themselves, other campers, and other staff. That being said, we do not restrain any camper unless they are an immediate threat to themselves or others. We do not train our counselors on safe restraints, and would never ask them to restrain a camper. Campers that display aggressive behavior towards staff may be tolerated. Aggressive behavior towards other campers will not be tolerated. If you have questions, please contact us before submitting your camper’s application.
