Life at Ogontz
Ogontz Camp is a magnificent 350+ acre facility in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The camp overlooks Lake Ogontz, a small, semi-private lake with a spectacular view of the mountains beyond.
Living space at Ogontz varies from several modest indoor cabins (with indoor plumbing and enclosed bedrooms), to about 45 Adirondack style cabins (with three open sides, equipped with storm flaps, tables, personal cubbies, beds, chairs, electricity), all close to shower and toilet facilities.
Cabins can accommodate one to four people, although they rarely have more than two people, and solo cabins are usually possible. While completing the registration form, participants will be asked to indicate housing preferences.
The Ogontz Kitchen and Bakery
Participants are treated to delicious meals three times a day.
The food at Ogontz is prepared in the camp’s large kitchen by the camp’s legendary chefs. The Ogontz onsite bakery prepares desserts and other tasty items, such as the famous Ogontz chocolate chip cookies and fresh loaves of bread.
