Mayhew is an independant non-profit program belonging to the New Hampshire United Ways of Heritage, Greater Seacoast, Lakes Region, Merrimack Country, Monadnock, North Country and the Upper Valley.
Since 1895, Pasquaney has pursued the goal set by its founder, Edward
Simpson Wilson: To provide a healthful and natural life in the woods,
a life which will make boys strong, confident, self-reliant and
efficient, able to do and think for others as well as themselves. We
pursue this goal beneath towering white pines, on a mountainside above
Newfound Lake, one of the clearest lakes in the United States.
Camp
Onaway is a small, non-profit camp for girls dedicated to
creating opportunities for each girl to realize her full potential,
not in comparison or competition with others, but through
aiming consistently toward high standards. In the natural
setting of our un-pressured and accepting community, we believe
a girl can come to know her own strengths, her values and
her own goodness.
Camp Berea's mission is to create and continuously develop awesome
programs which appeal to children, teens, adults and families such that
they respond to the message of Jesus Christ within the context of
meaningful relationships and memorable experiences.
