From the Head

For those of us who have spent our summers on Rust Pond, we know how special this place is. My hope is to share that experience with as many students and families as possible. A summer at Wolfeboro is not just well spent - it’s transformative.

A Summer Learning Experience Like No Other

As I prepare for my third summer leading Wolfeboro Camp School, I continue to be amazed by the stories I hear from families, schools, and students long after they leave our campus. Again and again, I hear about the same transformation - a student who returns home more confident, more independent, and more sure of what they’re capable of.

That, to me, is the magic of Wolfeboro.

Here, students come from around the world with different goals and experiences, but they all share something by the end of the summer: a renewed sense of self. Our vibrant lakeside campus provides the perfect environment for learning, reflection, and connection - away from screens and surrounded by nature. Each day is intentionally designed so that students grow both in and out of the classroom.

Our dual focus on academics and community makes Wolfeboro truly one of a kind. Students benefit from personalized instruction from dedicated teachers while also engaging with peers in an authentic, unplugged setting. The result is academic progress, yes - but even more so, it’s personal growth. Students return to school with the tools, confidence, and mindset to take on new challenges.

For those of us who have spent our summers on Rust Pond, we know how special this place is. My hope is to share that experience with as many students and families as possible. A summer at Wolfeboro is not just well spent - it’s transformative.

With excitement for summer 2026!
