Since 1996, Coniston has partnered with the Childhood Cancer Lifeline of NH to provide a free weekend for families affected by pediatric cancer. Families, many at different stages of their cancer journey, come together for a weekend of fun, support, respite, camaraderie, and of course, Camp! The success of this weekend hinges on current and previous summer staff members who in many cases donate their time to bring Coniston to families that need it most.

2024 was not without loss. Jesse Barden (CIT ‘94) and Colin Macquarrie, two members of the Coniston family, passed away this past year. In honor of Jesse and Colin, those closest to them gave back to the place the two men loved.

Camp has been a hum of construction throughout the fall and the winter with the Lodge renovation and expansion now in full swing! This is the culmination of years of planning and overwhelming generosity of donors and we’re so excited to show you all the progress we are making.
