What Sets Us Apart
Since 1904, Brantwood Camp has not turned away any child from the joys of summer camp due to a family’s lack of ability to pay. Brantwood is supported to a large extent by its alumni/ae and generous Friends of Brantwood. Although the families of campers pay registration fees, the actual costs of a session at camp far exceed this fee. Providing campers with an 90% scholarship towards the actual cost of Camp (about $3,100 per camper) is a challenging task that is vital to the mission of our organization.
Donations to the Annual Appeal are accepted year-round, and assure that a two-week overnight camping experience is affordable for every camper. Some families need assistance with the already subsidized $300 registration fee for a two-week summer camping experience. In effect, every camper is on scholarship.
Each year, we ask that you think about why giving to Brantwood, in particular, is a good thing. In a world full of uncertainty, violence and moral challenges, Brantwood gives wholeheartedly to sustaining, teaching, and preserving the ideals that we have all learned: Honesty, Loyalty, Cooperation, Good Sportsmanship, Unselfishness, and Respect.
Every dollar counts and we thank you for your participation!

Get Involved
Brantwood has a wonderful tradition of alumni volunteering their time and services throughout the season to assist in the maintenance of camp and in some cases in implementing programming for our campers. There are many opportunities and venues to volunteer and give back to the community, the first being our bi-annual work weekends (May and September) where we welcome alumni and camp families to volunteer with the opening and closing of our campuses. On these weekends all volunteers over the age of 18 are invited to spend Saturday evening on camp if they wish. The dates and registration details will be posted periodically on our website and social media.
Additionally, we welcome alumni to come volunteer with us throughout the summer either implementing and running programming or working on the facilities. If you are interested in volunteering at Brantwood this summer, please email our Operations Manager Robbie Welcome at rwelcome@brantwood.org to receive further information.
Disclaimer: All volunteers during the camping sessions (whether you’re working in programming or on facilities) must complete and pass a background check through the state of New Hampshire prior to arriving on campus. This background check will be provided by our Operations Manager once we have secured the dates of service.
St Mark’s Partnership is Alive and Well
Each year St. Mark’s brings their 3rd Form (9th gr.) students as a culminating activity for their school year. The students spend time together at camp, learning and having fun while giving back to Brantwood. Each year they ask what we need or want and then the students work to make that happen. This year we asked for raised beds to plant vegetables with the campers. The hope was that they could see that even a pot on the porch can produce beautiful and delicious tomatoes. The campers enjoyed planting the raised beds, with tomatoes, basil, oregano, dill and sweet peppers. We had so much rain that we didn’t have to water them, as Mother Nature took care of that for us. We are still picking cherry tomatoes off the vine and eating them.
The other project they tackled was building a chicken coup for each camp. The chicken coops are really cute, but we were not able to use them this year because we didn’t get chickens in time. Next year we will be on top of that and make sure that we have chickens and eggs for the campers to gather!
The students had an opportunity to use the ropes course and they played lots of sports, had campfires and roasted s’mores. We are always excited to host St. Marks and we look forward to having them again next and are already thinking of projects.
This summer we had 5 volunteers join us as Junior Counselors at camp. They were Rory Hutchins, Thanos Nicolopoulos, Justin Lu, Peter Yu and Grace Pieper. The students were impressive and did a great job. With all young people there was some trial and error, but that is to be expected.
Brantwood is proud of our relationship with St. Mark’s and we will work to continue to grow our volunteer numbers so more students can experience the Brantwood Spirit.
What Our Campers and Parents Say
Brantwood holds a special place in my heart. All the boys in my family went, including my father. I have fond memories of being there as a camper and counselor in the 80's.
Alumni
I went to brantwood last year and loved it! First time being away from family and it was hard but the counselors were amazing at comfort. I got in the car and said can I go back next year? It’s like being in a big happy family. Can’t wait to go tomorrow!
Current Camper
I love this camp everyone is so nice. I’ve been going for three years and this is my fourth year leaving in a month. Can’t wait to go back and see all my friends from different city’s, long life friends. The staff, kids, activities, food, everything is great. The nurse is so kind love her. Overall, it’s an amazing camp❤️❤️
