Nestled on 300 wooded acres along the shores of Little Island Pond, Camp Runels is celebrating 83 summers of fun. Generations of girls have learned to be confident and independent with the support of our caring staff. Many of our programs revolve around our unique craft studio where girls try the pottery wheel, create batik, develop their own photos in our darkroom or paint the next great masterpiece on canvas. Still other programs take girls off camp, traveling by van, foot, canoe or kayak. You might spot a Runels camper paddling into the sunset on Squam Lake, summiting Mt. Chocorua, or soaring down the zip line in the White Mountains. Our trip and travel program is designed to offer new challenges and experiences to girls as they grow, providing them with a progression of outdoor skills.

Camp Runels welcomes campers and staff with a wide range of experience and abilities. Our staff members come from around the world, and many are former Runels campers who return to share the magic of camp with a new generation. Venture into our dining hall to learn about our unique history and the women who made Runels into the summertime home it is today. The camp program is designed by the girls as they work with their staff to create an exciting, fun and safe experience for everyone. We believe all girls have the right to be themselves, celebrate who they are, and have a safe space to take a risk. Join us this summer for a half-week, one-week or even two-week session, and experience the magic that is Camp Runels.
