Camp Cody

Camp Cody is a summer camp in Freedom, New Hampshire, situated on roughly a mile of private waterfront along Ossipee Lake with dense Northeast forests surrounding the property. The facility features scattered activity zones for both land and water pursuits, connected by trails and pathways throughout the wooded grounds.

The camp was established in 1926 and relocated to New Hampshire in 1941, establishing its current home in the region. A significant shift occurred in 2001 when it transformed from accepting only boys to welcoming both boys and girls.

The camp draws children from around the world who gather to develop outdoor skills and friendships in a shared natural setting. It serves as a meeting place where young people work together on water-based and land activities in a structured community environment.

Visitors typically arrive through Boston Logan International Airport or use the camp's coach bus service that operates from New York and Connecticut locations. Advance planning helps since travel from most areas requires several hours of journeying.

The original 1926 administration building still stands and anchors the site's sense of continuity, despite development of newer facilities around it. The grounds also operate year-round as an outdoor education center, hosting workshops and events beyond the summer camping season.
