YMCA Camp Coniston is a nationally regarded summer camp that provides programs which teach youth necessary skills to be vital in a larger community. Through a balance of living and working in a group and self-reliance and independence, our campers grow in confidence, connectedness, and sense of purpose. Our experience shows this process creates young people with tools capable of managing the numerous risks of adolescence. YMCA Camp Coniston’s believes that all youth in today’s society, regardless of income, need these connections, and through this we meet our mission. We support and foster the YMCA core values of caring, honesty, responsibility, and respect. Coniston also hosts 5 after-school sites in the Upper Valley of NH in Lebanon, West Lebanon, New London, Sunapee and Plainfield during the school year. Our programs have been the subject of professional research and journals and have recently been featured on MSN.com as one of "Ten Summer Camps Worth the Money" and as a toped ranked camp on CampRatingz.com.
