Who We Are
Camp Allen’s mission is to provide opportunities for growth, friendship and fun, to children and adults with developmental and/or physical challenges in an outdoor environment. Located in Bedford, new Hampshire, Camp Allen provides both day and residential camp.
Wonderful things happen when our camper’s come to Camp Allen for a week or two each summer. Campers learn about differences, develop confidence, and make new friends in an environment filled with fun in the outdoors, and take home wonderful memories.
History
Camp Allen is an overnight and day summer camp that provides opportunities for friendship, growth and fun for children and adults with developmental and/or physical disabilities in an outdoor environment. Camp Allen was established in 1931 by the Boston Lions Club, later Boston Kiwanis in partnership with the Manchester Lions Club as a retreat for young girls who were blind. By the mid-1960s the mission was changed to include individuals of all ages with developmental and physical challenges. Today more than 600 different campers attend for one, two and even multiple weeks of fun in the great outdoors.
