Lessons at Coniston that Shape Future Careers
The mentoring program is a database of Conistonians who have volunteered to share information about their college, profession, career paths, and job skills. If you are looking for career advice, or are looking to find information about a particular college, you can request college or career mentoring and we will match you with a Coniston mentor who can help! We invite all to participate in the program. The more who participate, the broader the range of information the database can offer, and the more helpful it is to the Coniston Community.

We get it. You sometimes hear it from your friends or relatives. Being a camp counselor can have the connotation of being a “summer off” from preparing for the “real world.” But as we all know, it’s the lessons learned at camp that are some of the most powerful in our day-to-day lives. In this role of responsibility, the challenges faced and experiences gained provide skills and confidence that are applicable not only in daily life, but in any field or industry. Remember: Every summer, parents trust you with their most valuable possessions: their kids!
The Leader in Training program (LIT) is a 10 week job opportunity for campers who have completed the CIT program the previous summer. LITs get a holistic view of how Coniston summer programming operates. LITs rotate their responsibilities between in-cabin counseling, assisting the administrative office and operating facilities.

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.
