The Children's Center is well - staffed with caring and knowledgeable individuals who work with the kids in a positive way. They really pay attention to the individual needs of each child. We have stuck with the group day and half day programs and they are great. You will know and the staff will let you know if it's time for an individual private lesson. The slopes best suited for the kids are located right next to the center. There is a Children's Center short term parking spot next to the Center as well. This is an awesome and fun spot!

Gunstock is an amazing mountain and it's beautiful and I love it. But one day my daughters (11…read moreyears old) and their cousins (9 years old) went on the panorama loft together and when it was their turn to get on they asked the lift operator to slow it down she didn't and she was like. "come on come on hurry up" in a rude tone and the girls weren't able to get onto the lift in time so they were about to fall off. One of my girls lost a ski in that time also. And the operator didn't even stop the lift. Overall gunstock is an amazing place! You probably won't be able to identify her but she was a little chubby, had blonde highlights, looked about in her mid sixties, and this was on January 11 2020. I love gunstock so much but what that person did was very rude.

Mountain Pines Campground is a cute little campground. There are about 20 campsites and each…read morecampsite can fit about 2-3 tents. Each site also have a picnic table and fire pit. We stayed at campsites 18 and 19 and it was along the Baker River. They have free shower and toilet facilities, but only one shower and toilet per gender. They turn off their showers from 11pm to 7am so plan accordingly! There is also a water spout in the middle of the campground. WiFi is also available close to the check-in building. It's $10 per person, per night. Make sure to know your campsite number ahead of time. If you arrive late at night, they do not leave any notes or anything telling you where your campsite is. Also, ringing the bell does not help after hours. It's located near the side of the road so it can get annoying when cars drive past in the middle of the night. However, I don't mind staying here again. The folks here are nice. Campground is clean. It's also close to the Common Cafe and Tavern and the crags.

This…read moreis no small part to the efforts of Amy Tripp, the BOD and the yearly staff which seems to continually get better. The boats for the young sailors has increased in size and quantity. The facility is tight and perfectly set up. The boats are immediately adjacent to the water. They are in very good shape. The house is just right for the current size of the program and the new outside tents are perfect for the lesson groupings. The Covid precautions are smart, sensible and reassuring. An added dose of common sense this year is found in the staggered drop off and pick up times. Every day has been easy in and easy out. The instructors are down to earth and knowledgeable. They herd cats and keep the kids competitiveness to a perfect mild roar. They make sure the kids are having fun! Isabella is the second child I have put through a summer session of sailing at the lake and she loves it. Truth be told she has asked when it would start since school let out. An important note is that unlike many other sailing schools they keep it at 2 to boat. This means, quite simply, that everyone actually gets to/has to sail, not just ride in boats. This is very important because sailing is best learned by doing. If your in the lakes region, go for it. Be sure to sign up well in advance as spots book quickly.

The kids and parents in the community are all wonderful in providing support, encouragement, and direction for both of us as we overcome the challenges of living and moving through life with brains that work differently. And he is learning to protect himself without using force, while knowing how to defend himself if the need arises.

There's nothing quite like a summer at Camp Mowglis (pronounced mow= rhymes with now, glis = like…read morethe TV show Glee). Boys age 7-15 step into a golden age at this overnight camp on the shores of one of the cleanest lakes in the world. Mowglis focuses on building confidence, independence and strength. There are no electronics, but lots of music, games, classic traditions, weekly hikes in the White Mountains, canoe trips... If it's a match for your child, a Mowglis summer could be more powerful & memorable than his college experience... well worth the investment, at a crucial stage of life. Visitor weekends provide time for the whole family to connect. My son is the third generation in our family to attend this beloved camp.

It's not unusual to find staff members hanging…read moreout with each other during the off-season, reminiscing about their 30-40 years working at camp. It's less like a place you go in the summer, and more like a family. I cannot say enough good about this place. I attended for 9 summers and only wish I could still go back every year. In addition to the wide range of activities, the people are great and the food is pretty fantastic, particularly when compared to the stuff being served up at other summer camps. A few of the activities offered to campers: Archery, rowing, wind surfing, sailing, swimming, photography, ceramics, leather craft, copper enameling, silver craft, basketball, soccer, ropes course, water skiing, canoeing, theater, tennis, and more. Campers can attend for 2-week sessions, up to a total of 8 weeks. At the end of the second and fourth sessions, there's a giant themed banquet that is tons of fun. Apply early as the camp roster is usually full for the next summer by December.

Camp Nokomis is on Lake Winnipesaukee, so the reason I went there was to have a good camp experience and swim in the lake. Boy was I wrong. Although I was on my towns swim team at the time, and had much swimming experience, I only made it into the level one swim class, and not only did I have to have swim class with girls much younger than I, it made me unable to swim in the lake!!! It was a HUGE disappointment. This left me with nothing to do during free time, and left me bored as well as homesick. Not only that, but many of the activities I signed up for I did not enjoy, especially kayaking, because we were not really kayaking, but merely learning how to save ourselves if the kayaks happen to flip over, which is highly unlikely. I will not go into too many details, but just no that I do not recommend camp Nokomis, and I was not the only one there who had a bad time,v
