Camp Quinebarge
Camp Quinebarge is a traditional, overnight boys and girls summer camp lying on 70 acres of forest
and over 1,200 feet of lakefront on Lake Kanasatka in Moultonborough, NH. Since 1936, Camp
Quinebarge has fostered an environment for children to learn about themselves and the world around
them, try new activities and learn new skills, have fun, and make friendships that last a lifetime.

work directly with campers at activities and in cabins. Senior staff support and supervise counselors
