Our Mission

Camp Squanto invites campers to experience the love of Christ outside of four walls in a unique, transforming environment.  We strive to share the gospel through mentorship, fun & games, creation, peer discussion, worship, and dynamic speakers.  

Camp Squanto exists to love God, teach skills, love people and have fun at camp.

The valuable benefits of a Camp Squanto experience are time tested and proven.   

We share the good news of the salvation that God offers in a way that lets campers really understand who God is.  In everything we do, we seek to foster relationships where campers are built up by staff and by each other.  All this happens through games, events, and discussion that have made Squanto the source of lifetime stories and memories for over 60 years.

Camp Squanto was established in 1957 in Swanzey, NH. From 1919 through 1957 the East Cost Conference’s summer activities were held in Cromwell CT. The conference, looking for more space and a more rural backdrop, purchased two properties on Swanzey Lake - one became Pilgrim Pines & Mayflower Lodge and the other, Camp Squanto, named to keep the Pilgrim motif.
