Camp Sno-Mo

Joy. Confidence. Respite.

Welcome to Camp Sno-Mo in New Hampshire!

You’ll find that at Easterseals New Hampshire, we don’t talk about “special needs” very much. That’s because we’ve been welcoming youth with a broad spectrum of disabilities—including those with autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disabilities, emotional disabilities, medical needs, mobility needs, and those who use wheelchairs—for over 30 years. Many of our campers also receive special education (SPED) services or have personal care needs. Our residential camp keeps children safe and engaged with a low camper/staff ratio and around-the-clock supervision, providing meaningful respite for families. Counselors know that each camper is unique, and they are ready to help each camper enjoy their adventure.

Our Impact in 2025

We are pleased to offer a full summer of camping in 2026.

We will go live in November for sessions 1-7 and in February for sessions 8-9.

  • New Hampshire residents: $500.00 per camper, per session, is due at the time of registration
  • Non-New Hampshire residents: $750.00 per camper, per session, is due at the time of registration
  • The non-refundable deposit(s) will be subtracted from the tuition fee.
  • If a third party pays in full, the deposit will be refunded to the parent/guardian.

Can I call or visit my camper during their session?

At Camp Sno-Mo, we encourage communication through written letters or postcards, which campers love to receive! Parents and providers are always welcome to speak with the camp director at any time during the session to check in or ask questions.

How many meals are provided for my camper per day?

All campers are served three meals per day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) in the Scouting America New Hampshire dining hall. The scout camp also has a store where ice cream, soda, and other small snacks are available for purchase.

Does Camp Sno-Mo have showers in the lodge?

Yes. The lodge includes designated shower areas, including a sensory-friendly bathroom and a wheelchair-accessible shower, ensuring every camper has a comfortable and accessible bathing option.

Do you have nurses or medical personnel on site?

Yes. For all sessions, Camp Sno-Mo has its own dedicated nursing staff who live on-site and provide round-the-clock care while campers are present. Additionally, all staff are certified in CPR, First Aid, and AED. Camp Sno-Mo also has access to EMTs through Scouting America New Hampshire’s Griswold Reservation staff, ensuring an added layer of medical support if needed.

What security measures are in place when campers are sleeping?

A staff member is assigned to stay awake overnight and is responsible for conducting regular bed checks every 5 to 15 minutes to ensure the safety and well-being of all campers.

What types of training do Camp Sno-Mo counselors receive?

Before camp begins, counselors participate in two weeks of intensive on-site training and preparation. This training focuses on building trust, fostering teamwork, and learning how to support our campers with care and confidence.

Our staff are also trained to create an inclusive, respectful environment where every camper feels valued and encouraged to be themselves. We prioritize not only physical care but also emotional support, helping campers build lasting friendships, develop independence, and foster self-confidence throughout their camping experience.

Additionally, counselors receive specialized instruction on understanding diverse needs, safety protocols, and emergency procedures to ensure every camper’s well-being is always our top priority.

What is the difference between Sessions 1–7 and Sessions 8 and 9?

Sessions 1–7 are designed for campers aged 11–21 and follow a structured schedule, with programs led by Scouting America New Hampshire. These sessions offer up to 146 recreational activities, with a focus on small group and individual participation, and counselors providing full support.

Sessions 8 and 9 are designed for campers aged 21 and over and feature a more relaxed schedule that encourages independence. During these sessions, Scouting America New Hampshire programs are not in operation. Campers participate in both small and large group activities, with three to four activity options offered simultaneously to promote choice and self-direction.

All sessions include 24/7 nursing and staff support, with meals served in the Scout dining hall.
