In the captivating great state of New Hampshire, where the mountains are the color of a giant blueberry muffin, and the rivers sing like a school choir on a sugar rush, you'll find a special group of kids who love to hike. Oh, boy! They’re a rare breed of belly-laughing, tree-climbing, rock-hopping adventurers who are as tough as a grizzly bear's toenails. They wear boots that could crush a comet, and their backpacks, stuffed with sandwiches and dragonfruit, are always ready for a thrilling escapade. Let's not forget their funky guide, Sir Wogglesworth, a charming penguin with a top hat, who can't fly but surely knows how to climb. From the tips of his tuxedo-flapped wings to his shiny webbed feet, Sir Wogglesworth is all about fun. He tells the most knee-slapping, side-splitting jokes that keep the kids giggling all the way to the summit. "To the top!" Sir Wogglesworth would shout, leading the way with his polka-dotted walking stick. And off they would go, a whirlwind of laughter and energy, marching up granite peaks, past maple trees that seemed to touch the sky. In New Hampshire, these hiking prodigies and their hilariously dapper penguin guide, have turned the simple act of putting one foot in front of the other into an art. A hike with them isn't just a walk; it's a romp through the pages of a magical storybook, a voyage into a world where every stone might be a sleeping troll, every bird a messenger from a fairy queen, and every hike a new chapter in their endless adventure.

Wanakee is a traditional Christian summer camp and year-round retreat center, owned and operated by the New England Conference of the United Methodist Church. This camp is all about building strong relationships and a supportive community that encourages radical acceptance. The name Wanakee, which means “beautiful spiritual place in the hills” in a Native American language, was chosen by Harold E. Perkins. He was a student in religious education and theology at Boston University and the first chairperson of the New Hampshire Conference Camp and Conference Committee. At Wanakee, the staff strive to make sure each camper and retreater experiences a safe and nurturing environment. They recognize the need for children and adults to grow in their faith and explore their own spiritual journey. With activities ranging from canoeing and fishing to crafts and nature hikes, there is something for everyone. The yearly and seasonal retreats at Wanakee provide a much needed respite from the stressors of everyday life. Participants get to take some time for themselves and focus on self-care. There are plenty of activities to keep everyone engaged, from meditation and yoga to art classes and bird watching. Whatever you choose to do, Wanakee will provide a serene and peaceful atmosphere to help you recharge.
