OUR PROMISE OF STEWARDSHIP: A gift accepted with a restricted purpose will only be used for that purpose. Unrestricted gifts will continue to support children by funding the three board-approved strategic priorities—to make camp financially accessible to any child by offering more camperships and financial aid, serve more children through improving the facility and programs, and ensure the future of Coniston through an endowment. Gifts will be accounted for using generally accepted accounting principles, providing consistent, timely, and accurate reporting of all gifts into the Camp’s financial record. Active pledges are recognized as the total pledge payment of that calendar year. Gifts will be acknowledged in a timely and personal manner.

Our Annual Report features data about Camp, it’s mission, demographics, giving, and camperships.
YMCA Camp Coniston’s strength is in its community, a community that is comprised of all, campers, alumni, parents and friends of camp. People can volunteer in many different ways whether on a committee, as a career development panelist, ambassador or helping clean up Camp. Volunteering is a fantastic way to connect with camp and help see it grow.
If you are standing on Main Lawn as the clock strikes 5:15p.m., you will see campers from G4 dart out of their cabin to ring the bell for Vespers. The rings resound across the water accompanied by counselors on both sides of the lake telling their campers: “Everyone get ready to head to the Vespers Ring!”
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.
