Camp Naticook offers a unique Summer Day Camp experience in the Town of Merrimack, NH. Located within Wasserman Park, the park was formerly the site of a private overnight camp. In 1989, the Town of Merrimack made arrangements to purchase the camp and turned the land into a public park. Naticook Day Camp operates under the direction of the Parks & Recreation Department and has been continuously accredited by the American Camp Association since 1994.
Naticook Day Camp is geared towards children entering Kindergarten up through entering 5th Grade in Fall 2024. Campers who will be going into 5th Grade in Fall 2024 have the option to participate in our traditional Naticook Day Camp program or they move up to our Camp Trek program which is for campers entering Grades 5 - 9 in the Fall.
Our goal at Camp Naticook is to build an environment where both staff and campers are open to be themselves and form friendships and connections with their peers that will last a lifetime. We strive for individuals to embrace their own strengths and talents to form a camp community that is rich in history and culture. We embrace our camp’s beginnings and culture to strengthen our community. Through the specialty areas of our camp, campers will discover new interests and embrace their previous interests. We strive ourselves on having a united staff that shows campers great care and compassion. Our staff works closely together and have a strong bond that shows in their care for our campers. Camper safety is our staff's number one priority. After safety, it is paramount to our staff that our campers have the best experience we can possibly provide them. We want our campers to leave camp and remember the summer and the memories they made. We never want any of our campers to say goodbye to Camp Naticook. Rather, "see you soon."
