Trips –Camp Tohkomeupog is fortunate to be located both within the Lakes Region of New Hampshire, as well as on the edge of the White Mountain National Forest. This creates endless possibilities for exploration and adventure. By foot on the trail, or by canoe on the river, our campers have journeyed into some spectacular wilderness areas. They have felt the satisfaction of standing upon a high mountain peak – beholding nature’s majesty spread out before them. They have felt the thrill of maneuvering through a swift moving river – and the peace of paddling at sunset on a beautiful expanse of lake. All boys in camp will participate on overnight camping trips throughout the summer. The youngest boys may do day trips, followed by a campout somewhere on the far reaches of our own property. Older boys may pack all of their food and gear with them, setting up camp somewhere along the trail, or on the river. Regardless of how they get to wherever they are going, it will be an incredible and long-remembered journey.

Adventure - In recent years, camp has expanded the trip curriculum by incorporating a variety of adventure activities. Opportunities such as Mountain Biking, Rock Climbing, White Water Canoeing and Sea Kayaking are now an exciting part of our routine. These activities, however, are anything but routine. All adventure activities focus on safety as the top priority – and initial training will often be done right at camp. A network of mountain biking trails, a climbing wall, and of course, our private lake, enables boys to practice appropriate techniques before heading out into the wild. Other adventure facilities include high and low ropes initiative courses. Here the challenge assumes many identities. High in the trees, individual campers must search within to push personal boundaries of determination and courage. At ground level, individuals must learn to communicate and work together to resolve problems and negotiate obstacles.

The Waterfront – Undeveloped and unspoiled, our private little lake offers sanctuary to loon, beaver, otter and heron – not to mention an active group of enthusiastic campers. Nestled comfortably amongst the pines, the waterfront is undeniably one of the most alluring and popular places in camp. Tohkomeupog considers learning to swim an important accomplishment for every boy – and we follow standards as set by the American Red Cross. A water trampoline, diving board, rolling logs and fishing are popular free-swim activities. Beyond the boundaries of the swimming area, the waters of Purity Lake support a variety of small craft movement, including sailing, rowing, canoeing and playaking. Across the lake, at the water-ski beach; campers roar with delight as rushing winds mold their faces into determined smiles. Encouragement and instruction is offered in waterskiing, wakeboarding and knee boarding. Safety is stressed at all times! Certified Lifeguards are present whenever campers are involved in any aquatic activities.

Team Sports – At Tohkomeupog, team sports are carefully blended with other traditional activities to provide for a balanced and varied program. Although we do not consider ourselves a sports camp, opportunities are provided for all boys to improve their understanding and skill in a variety of team sports. Our camp facilities support active programs in tennis, lacrosse, street hockey, baseball, basketball and soccer. Our coaches are talented counselors who participate on various high school and college teams. Competition at Tohkomeupog exists internally, within the age groups, and also extends to events with neighboring camps. These events are highly anticipated. The level of competition at these events may be intense, yet they are based on principles of sincere fun and sportsmanship. For boys who are not drawn towards participation in team sports, a highly competitive nature is not necessary to have a successful summer at Tohkomeupog.

Traditional Activities- Some of the most unique and memorable educational opportunities at Tohkomeupog are found within more traditional camp endeavors. These are experiences that may not be readily available to many boys at home. Shooting an arrow into a target, building a campfire, pitching a tent, paddling a canoe or looking at the stars without interference from city lights - all contribute towards the essence of a camp experience. Archery and Riflery are consistently two of our most popular activities. Following national standards of instruction and safety, both of these programs require disciplined patience, determined focus - and offer an extremely satisfying personal challenge.
