Join ACA, New England for our 2026 Overnight Camp Tours in NH & VT on September 14 & 15!
We are excited to offer two full days to experience six different camp properties and hear more about how they run their programs and facilities. This is a great opportunity to re-energize by networking with peers, discuss lessons learned and hot topics from the summer, and to gain new insights and spark new ideas as you move into off-season planning.
Over two days, you will have the opportunity to tour the following overnight camps:
• YMCA Camp Coniston
• Camp Merriwood
• Camp Moosilauke
• Camp Pemigewassett
• Kingswood Camp
• Aloha Foundation Camps (will tour two of their properties)
While this event highlights overnight camp properties, folks from all types of camps are welcome to attend!

Registration includes two lunches and snacks. Travel, lodging, breakfast, and dinner are not included.
Program Overview:
Day One, September 14: Check-in will start at Camp Coniston at 9:30 with the tour beginning at 10:00 am.

Day Two, September 15: We’ll begin our tour of Kingswood Camp at 9 am, followed by tours and lunch at two of Aloha Foundation’s camps. We will wrap up around 3:00 pm on the second day.
