Weekday Activities

On weekdays, campers receive high-quality instruction in a wide variety of team and individual sports, including baseball, basketball, tennis, soccer, gymnastics, archery, rock climbing, golf, ropes course, football, gaga and volleyball.

 

Team & Individual Sports

At Kenwood & Evergreen we play sports because sports are fun, and because they are good for your mind and body.  Our coaches provide quality instruction while still maintaining a positive, friendly atmosphere that makes team sports inviting for any level of experience.  Campers of all ages have the opportunity to participate in a range of team actvities in and out of camp, playing in intercamps and tournaments throughout our area, and in our intramural leagues and end-of-summer Color War.

 

Visual & Performing Arts

Kenwood & Evergreen also has a large visual and performing arts program, which includes individual studios for arts & crafts, ceramics, movie making, musical theater, wood working music and photography. In our Arts & Crafts and Ceramic Studios campers work on an array of creative projects throughout the summer, including pottery throwing, tie-dyeing, wood working, model rocketry, painting, drawing, leather craft, jewelry, sewing, candle making and much, much more!


Our digital photography program introduces campers to the world of composition, lighting, and framing, and gives them hands-on instruction in software such as Photoshop and Iphoto.  In the movie making studio campers have the opportunity to write, direct, act in and even edit their own short films.  Campers receive instruction on using high-definition video cameras, lighting equipment, editing software, and even our newest edition: a green screen for creating special effects!  Each summer the campers of Kenwood & Evergreen showcase their films in an incredible film festival!


Performing arts are a major focus at Kenwood & Evergreen.  Each age group participates in a musical theater production, with campers involved in every aspect of the production, including costumes, scenery, lighting, and sound tech. Our music program is also available to boys and girls of any age who are interested in becoming a more accomplished musician, forming a band, or even just trying an instrument for the first time!  One of the biggest events of each summer is Hollowpallooza, a music festival where campers can become true rock stars!

 

Waterfront Activities

Each camp has its own waterfront on our private lake.  Twice daily, all Kenwood & Evergreen campers visit their separate beaches for recreation or Red Cross-certified swim instruction.  Our waterfronts are filled with a fleet of kayaks, canoes, and row boats for campers to explore our beautiful lake. During General Swim each day campers have the choice to dive off the diving board, swim laps, pall around in inner tubes in our shallow area, go waterskiing, wakeboarding or tubing, take out a boat, play water basketball, build sand castles, or go fishing with a friend.  We have an incredibly fun time at our waterfront!

 

Our Structured-Choice Schedule

Kenwood & Evergreen are unique in how we schedule our activities.  Each age group of campers is given a limited, rotating set of choices each hour.  Throughout the day we offer an ever-changing combination of team and individual sports, watersports, adventure and arts.  Our goal is for each camper to have a well-balanced summer experience with exposure to the broad program choices that we offer.  We invite you to see examples of what a week at Camp Kenwood and Camp Evergreen is like!

 

Evening Activities

Each night both camps offer special evening programming.  Campers tell us that some of their favorite evening activities include Camper and Counselor Hunt, Jell-O Wrestling, Campfires, and Hobby Night (where you can choose almost any activity that we offer!).

Weekend & Special Events

Weekends at Kenwood & Evergreen are an incredibly exciting time, and each weekend brings a different and creative event!  On weekends we also bring our boys & girls camps together to have fun and get to know each other. Weekend events can be anything from our carnival, to the counselors dressing up as super heroes, to an Olympics, to our rockin’ music festival Hollowpallooza. We get really silly during Weekend Events.

Overnight Trips & Adventures

Every age group of campers has the opportunity to participate in at least one overnight hiking trip/mountain climb and one overnight canoe trip, as well as many day trips throughout the summer.  Each overnight trip is structured to be an appropriate challenge for that age group.  As campers grow we increase the challenge and duration on our canoe and hiking trips, so that we may continue to provide new and exciting adventures.   On day trips we travel to beaches and caves and parks and try to take in as much of the natural beauty of New Hampshire as we can.
