Camp Overview

The mission of Copper Cannon Camp is to enrich the lives of under-served youth of New Hampshire by providing a quality, tuition-free camp experience. Copper Cannon Camp is unique in that it is the only completely tuition-free summer camp experience for children living in New Hampshire. Our founder, Hamilton Ford, overcame an underprivileged childhood and was changed by a summer camp experience he and his family had. He decided then and there that summer camp was something that every child, regardless of background or financial status, deserved to experience. And 50 years and 20,000 campers later, we uphold that same belief to this day.There are life-changing opportunities available at camp that we believe are unique to a summer camp setting – things that otherwise might not be experienced, learned or realized at home or at school. Summer camp is more than just a week of simple activities or a place to go for kids while their parents work in the summer. There is a reason that summer camps have traditions that transcend generations, even though the rest of the world tries to move on without it.
