Why Your Support Matters

In 2024, we were able to:

  • Serve 1,175 campers from 26 states and 7 countries who experienced the magic of Takodah.
  • Provide camperships to 233 children in need, ensuring that no child misses out due to financial limitations.
  • Welcome staff from 8 countries, enhancing our diverse, inclusive camp community.
  • Host no-cost programs for Monadnock Schools and local organizations, reconnecting with the community in meaningful ways.
  • Invest in critical facility upgrades, including a new deck at TPAC (Takodah Performing Arts Center), enhancements to the Memorial Lodge—both cherished gathering spots for friendship and connection—alongside improvements to staff housing, kitchen repairs, and essential drainage solutions.

What our parents had to say:

  • “She loves it there. She told me that is the place she feels the most free and herself with other kids. I love that she gets to spend two weeks outside and be silly with other girls and no devices. It has also been a huge confidence boost for her over the past two summers. She knows she can overcome her homesickness and have an absolute blast without her family.”
  • “Thanks for making the summer camp experience so good for the kids!”
  • Super attentive and engaged staff. They really helped my son step out of his comfort zone and try new things.”

These accomplishments are possible because of supporters like you, who believe in the life-changing power of Camp Takodah.

As we look ahead to 2025, your gift will:

  • Expand our campership program, allowing even more children to experience camp regardless of financial need.
  • Maintain and improve our historic facilities, ensuring that campers enjoy safe, inspiring spaces.
  • Strengthen our programs, helping young people build resilience, confidence, and responsibility.
