Шаблон:Short description

Шаблон:Infobox campground Camp Fatima is a Catholic overnight summer camp located in Gilmanton Iron Works, NH.[1][2] The camp has a waterfront on the northern shore of Upper Suncook Lake.

History

The camp was founded in 1949 by Richard Boner, after the previous establishment, a Jewish camp named Camp Wingo, closed and relocated to Maine.[3] The camp is named after Our Lady of Fátima, a Marian apparition observed in 1917 by three shepherd children at the Cova da Iria, in Fátima, Portugal.

New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu attended Camp Fatima from 1984 to 1989.[4]

Program

Camp Fatima has four normal sessions during the summer. Each session is two weeks long.[2] Along with the normal sessions, the camp also offers a special needs week.[5] The camp programs are as follows:

  • Juniors: Ages 6–10
  • Intermediates: Ages 11–12
  • Seniors: Ages 13–14
  • Club 15: Age 15

For those who wish to attend the camp over the age of 15, they can apply for the CIT (Counselor in Training) program.[1][2] For the campers, the camp has cabins, with each cabin having approximately eight bunk beds.
