Residential camp in Freedom, United States
Camp Cody is a premier coed summer camp for boys and girls ages 7 to 15, located on the beautiful shores of Lake Ossipee in Freedom, New Hampshire. For 100 summers, families have chosen Cody for its welcoming community, exceptional programming, and unforgettable summer experiences. At Camp Cody, we believe summer should be a time for adventure, growth, friendship, and fun. Our customizable activity schedule gives campers the freedom to explore their individual interests while encouraging them to try something new. Whether they love being on the lake, playing sports, creating in the arts, or taking on a new challenge, every camper can create a summer that feels like their own. Our extensive program includes waterskiing, wakeboarding, sailing, paddleboarding, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, soccer, basketball, tennis, archery, lacrosse, volleyball, woodworking, painting, metalsmithing, ceramics, drama, and much more. Campers live with their bunkmates and counselors in comfortable, well-maintained cabins equipped with electricity, storage, and bathrooms. With approximately 10 to 12 campers and 2 to 3 counselors per cabin, each bunk becomes a close community where campers feel known, supported, and included. Families can choose from flexible two-week and four-week sessions. With an incredible lakefront setting, caring staff, outstanding facilities, and a screen-free environment, Camp Cody gives campers the opportunity to build confidence, develop independence, discover new passions, and create friendships and memories that last long after summer ends.

Cody's programme runs on what the camp calls Progressive Programming: every activity is pitched to the camper's age and skill level, so a first-time archer and a returning tennis player are each stretched in the right way. How much a child chooses grows with them. Pioneers aged seven to nine follow a schedule with anchors already built in, such as swimming and the Wibit, plus two activities of their own choosing each day, and their week deliberately balances high-energy sessions with rest. Juniors step up to four electives a day and can pick anything from wakeboarding and field hockey to mountain biking, kayaking or yoga, which also mixes them with campers beyond their own cabin. Inters and Seniors gain progressively more elective freedom, later bedtimes and more social events, so the same campus feels different at every stage. Off-campus trips, evening events and private instruction sit alongside the daily electives, and specialist heads of swim, athletics, tennis, horseback and arts lead the instruction.

Testimonial Camp Cody #5
My two sons went to Camp Cody in the 1990’s. They loved it! Now 2 of my grandchildren are going there. The summer of 2024 they went for a month. They are 7 and 9. Cody is a special place - the directors are amazing. The counselors are terrific. There is a photographer on staff and we got pictures daily so we could see what they were doing while having the time of their young lives. We know they were having a blast - because they “forgot” to write us letters back. lol Next year they’re going for 6 weeks and they cannot wait. The smiles and the joy on their faces said it all. Cody is THE BEST!

Testimonial Camp Cody #4
Our daughter went away from home for the first time at Cody and had the most wonderful time. She hadn't known anyone, and my wife and I stressed out for a couple days before we started getting letters back that immediately indicated that everything was great. When I picked her up, everyone and her cabin and she were planning to return for twice as long next summer. Besides the fun, independence, and confidence, there also were lots of activities that she got exposure to that we can't easily expose her to at home. She's excited for next summer.

Testimonial Camp Cody #2
My son (11) attended a 2-week session last summer at Camp Cody and loved it! The camp did a nice job engaging with the campers before the camp session through Zoom, which was appreciated since it was his first overnight camp experience. While at camp, we were kept informed through the app which is great and uses "face finder technology" to alert you when your camper is tagged in the 1000's daily photos that are posted. There are endless activities and my son was "too busy to write many letters" which was a great indication of the counselors keeping him engaged. Best part, no screens! Next Summer, he's returning for a 4 week session and can't wait!

Testimonial Camp Cody #1
Camp Cody was our daughter's first sleepaway camp experience at age 11. We cannot emphasize enough how much she loved it. She was not homesick, made new friends, loved the counselors and the food, felt comfortable, and most of all, tried new things and LOVED the activities every day, especially trampoline ball, lake/water activities, and arts and crafts. Every day seemed like the perfect mix of activities that were just right for her. She wants to go back longer this year!
