Camp Onaway

Our Mission and Values

Camp Onaway empowers young girls to explore, discover, and thrive. We cultivate a nurturing environment where girls can develop physically, emotionally, and intellectually through traditional camp experiences, outdoor adventures, and personal growth initiatives.

Our History: A Legacy of Summer Memories

Founded in 1911, Camp Onaway proudly carries on a century-long tradition of providing girls with a transformative summer experience. Nestled on the pristine shores of Newfound Lake in Hebron, New Hampshire, we offer a technology-free environment where girls can forge meaningful friendships, cultivate their talents, and discover their full potential.

Our Programs and Activities

At Camp Onaway, we believe in offering a well-rounded experience that goes beyond just traditional camp activities. Our daily program includes:

• Traditional camp activities like swimming, canoeing, and campfire songs
• Creative arts programs like drama, music, and painting
• Leadership development workshops
• Outdoor survival skills training
• Environmental exploration and nature hikes

Creating Lasting Connections

With a small camper-to-counselor ratio, we can ensure personalized attention and foster close bonds within our close-knit community. Many campers and counselors return year after year, forming lifelong friendships and creating cherished memories.

Growing and Learning Together

Our seven-week session provides girls with the opportunity to:

• Develop self-confidence and independence
• Build lifelong friendships
• Discover their natural talents
• Embrace the beauty of living simply
• Gain essential life skills in a supportive environment
