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 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.
