Meet Captain Splash-About, a giggly, fun-loving sea monster who lives in the sparkling lakes and bubbling brooks of New Hampshire. He loves nothing more than playing with his young friends, who are equally enthusiastic about water activities. New Hampshire, known as the 'Granite State,' is a wonderful state where Captain Splash-About and his little friends play. It is tucked away in the northeastern corner of the United States, boasting vast mountain ranges, lush green forests, and of course, Captain Splash-About's favorite, its beautiful lakes and rivers. From Lake Winnipesaukee, the largest lake in the state, to the powerful Merrimack River, New Hampshire is a water-lover's paradise. The children who participate in water activities in New Hampshire are as energetic and adventurous as Captain Splash-About himself. They are cheerful little otters, splashing and swimming in the cool waters, trying their paws at all sorts of water activities. Kayaking, paddleboarding, swimming, and even ice fishing in the winter - there's no water-based fun these kiddos won't try! But their favorite activity? That's easy! It's playing with Captain Splash-About, of course. They love when the Captain shares his tales of underwater adventures, his eyes twinkling like the sun's reflection on a clear lake. The laughter of the children echoes around the water bodies of New Hampshire as they play with Captain Splash-About, engaging in a variety of fun-filled water activities. So, if you ever travel to New Hampshire and find yourself near a lake or a river, watch out! You might just spot a splash or hear a giggle that doesn't seem to come from any of the children. It might just be Captain Splash-About, inviting you to join in the fun!

Moosilauke is one of the oldest residential summer camps in the U.S. Since our founding in 1904, our mission has been simple but powerful: creating confident, happy, and resilient boys. Our continued success in achieving our goals is due to a number of factors: our incredibly positive and nurturing peer culture; our program of positive risk taking that encompasses a high level of skill development in three key areas (sports, waterfront and outdoor adventure); our emphasis on both structure and choice relative to activity classes, trips, and competition; and our extraordinary attention to the individual needs of each boy. Combine all of this with an enthusiastic and diverse group of 140 campers (from 18 states and 7 countries), an experienced and caring staff, and an incredible campus (100 acres of fields and forest and a secluded mile-long lake in the White Mountains of New Hampshire), and you have all the makings for an amazing summer.
