Lantern Light Camps

Why We’re Here

Childhood is changing.

Since the early 2010s, screen time has skyrocketed and
real-world play has faded. Kids who once explored neighborhoods by bike or lay
in fields watching stars now spend more than 44 hours a week interacting with digital
media. The results? Increasing rates of anxiety, depression, sleep
disturbances, and social-emotional delays in children and teens.

Lantern Light Camps exists to help fix that.

We give kids what childhood used to offer: dirt under their
fingernails, curiosity in their eyes, and connection in their hearts. Our
mission is to provide year-round, age-appropriate outdoor adventures where kids
can be kids again—running, climbing, building, singing, swimming, and
wondering.

Through our programs at the Wah-Tut-Ca Reservation in
Northwood, New Hampshire, we help children unplug from devices and reconnect
with nature, each other, and themselves. Our campers build confidence, learn
teamwork, develop problem-solving skills, and grow into empathetic and
resilient young people—all while immersed in a beautiful, restorative outdoor
setting.

Your gift today supports more than just fun at camp.
It helps children build confidence, learn to work as a team, develop a love for
nature, and strengthen their emotional resilience—all while being cared for in
a safe, inclusive environment.

Whether you’re giving in honor of a past camp memory, a
child you love, or a future you believe in—thank you for standing with us.
Together, we’re helping a generation rediscover the joy of play and the healing
power of nature.
