Resident Camp Wabasso
Bradford, NH
About Camp
Camp Wabasso has a fully equipped riding stable including horses, tack and expert instructors. Because girls can enjoy a complete riding program without leaving camp, they have lots of time for swimming, boating, crafts and other camp fun. Our 200 acre site has miles of trails for horseback riding while still remaining safely on our property. Wabasso is also home to our theatre programs. Girls will learn to or improve their production, performance, custom and writing skills while preparing original works to showcase in our on site theatre house. Girls can also learn woodworking with our woodworking studio at camp. All programs include swimming, boating, campfires, games, crafts and all that camp has to offer. For additional information: email or call (617) 350-8335.
Typical Day at Camp
Counselors work with girls to plan what the group will do while at camp. Girls will have the opportunity to go swimming, try archery, go boating, and complete an arts and crafts project and cookout.
