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 all youth with disabilities for over 30 years. Our residential camp keeps children safe and healthy with a low camper/staff ratio and around-the-clock supervision. Counselors know that each camper is unique, and they are ready to help each camper enjoy their adventure.

We are pleased to offer a full summer of camping in 2025.

We will offer seven weeks of camping for ages 11-21 and two weeks of camping for adults over the age of 21.

We will go live for registration on Monday, December 9, 2024, at 10 a.m.

New this year, you will need to pay a deposit to complete the registration process.

  • 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

Deposits are non-refundable with the exception that:

A.

A third party pays in full, the deposit will be refunded to the parent.

B.

Easterseals NH determines during the review of intake paperwork that they cannot safely support/accommodate the camper.

C.

Easterseals NH closes the camp in its entirety for a public health emergency, municipal declaration, or necessary business decision.
