Located on Lake Winnipesaukee, the camp offers 7 week sessions as well as shorter sessions of 5 and 6 weeks with limited enrollment.

The camps are run separately, and each has its own facilities, playing fields, courts, bunks, playhouse and dining hall.
The Winaukee community embraces a core philosophy set forth on the six branches of the Winaukee "Tree of Values": Enthusiasm, Loyalty, Sportsmanship, Friendship, Achievement and Cooperation. These values are instilled in Winaukee campers through a sports and adventure program and unique traditions that have been at the heart of Winaukee's 85 year history. Winaukee campers feel that they are part of something special, meaningful and bigger than themselves. That's why we often hear our campers say, "Winaukee is in my soul."
