The Winaukee Way
Camp Winaukee’s mission is to cultivate growth and connection through the power of sports and community. Rooted in tradition and guided by a passion for fun, Winaukee uses positive role models, competition and brotherhood to provide young men with the skills to thrive both on and off the field.
Winaukee provides excellent sports instruction anchored in a traditional sleep-away camp environment nestled on the shores of picturesque Lake Winnipesaukee. Over 100 years of tradition is weaved into campers’ daily lives as side-by-side they learn new skills, build confidence, develop meaningful relationships and become better teammates.
Boys are immersed in developmentally appropriate settings that adjust to their needs as they grow with us. Our distinct Mainland and Island campuses share our Winaukee values while meeting your son where he is socially and athletically.
Community
Being a part of the Winaukee community means you don’t have to choose between individuality and belonging.
At Camp Winaukee, community is at the heart of everything we do. It represents more than just the relationships between campers and staff—it’s a sense of belonging, trust, and mutual respect that binds us all together. Campers learn the importance of teamwork, cooperation, and supporting one another both on and off the field. Through shared experiences, challenges, and victories, the Winaukee community becomes a family that extends beyond the summer, creating lifelong bonds and memories.

Sportsmanship
At Camp Winaukee, sportsmanship is a cornerstone of our athletic program and a vital part of our camp culture. We teach our campers that true sportsmanship goes beyond winning or losing—it’s about respect, integrity, and fairness both on and off the field. Whether they’re competing in a friendly game of soccer, basketball, or any other sport, campers are encouraged to demonstrate good character by showing respect for opponents, supporting teammates, and playing with a positive attitude. Winaukee’s emphasis on sportsmanship helps campers understand that how they play the game is just as important as the outcome.
