Camp Quinebarge - A Legacy of Friendship and Growth
Camp Quinebarge, in Moultonborough, New Hampshire, has been a classic American summer camp since 1936. Camp Quinebarge has offered campers enriching outdoor experiences designed to nurture personal growth and development through diverse activities for nearly nine decades.
The camp's core values include experiential learning, fostering lifelong friendships, and building confidence. It also emphasizes community, inclusion, and cultivating a sense of responsibility and contribution. Camp Quinebarge's goal is to create a welcoming, respectful environment where campers develop self-awareness, independence, and an appreciation for nature, free from the distractions of technology - all while having fun.
Cherished traditions at Camp Quinebarge create a strong sense of community. The nightly Friendship Circle allows campers to reflect and connect through singing and sharing. Quine beads, which new campers receive at the first campfire session, represent their cabin, while plaques have names of all staff and campers who have stayed in each cabin. The Order of Kanasatka and Pine Tree Award honors those who embody the camp's values and legacy. Additionally, the Tommy Henshaw Memorial remembers a former camper who lost his life in World War II and represents service to others..
The Camp Quinebarge website is a valuable resource for prospective and returning campers. It includes a before, during, and after-camp guide covering everything from packing lists and travel logistics to camp activities and medical care to ensure campers have a smooth and memorable experience.
