Welcome from the Director
"Making Connections is My Greatest Strength"
Thank you for your interest in Camp CCBA! With a 35-year career supporting children, youth, and families, I am thrilled to lead a program designed to help your child thrive.
Camp CCBA is about more than just keeping busy—it is a place for making new friends and lifelong connections. We have designed a safe, supportive program where campers build self-confidence and discover new personal strengths. From the talent show to nature walks, we keep campers active, engaged, and excited. We look forward to getting to know your child this summer!

The Camp Experience
Adventure in the Heart of Lebanon Our expansive campus offers the best of both worlds: nestled between the beautiful Mascoma River and the convenience of downtown Lebanon.
Our Philosophy: We focus on character-building, leadership, cooperation, and self-reliance. By taking on new challenges, campers grow in confidence and develop a greater appreciation for the world around them.
Our Campus Facilities: Rain or shine, the fun never stops thanks to our first-rate amenities:
- Indoor: Double gymnasium, swimming pool, even more space at the CCB.
- Outdoor: 60,000 sq. ft. of playing fields, Sports Park, outdoor basketball court, and a pavilion.
- Exploration: Easy access to the Rail Trail and nature areas.
Fun Weekly Activities
Get ready for a summer of action! Here are just a few favorites our campers love:
Biking & Scooting
Bring your helmet and wheels! Younger campers zoom around the CCBA parking lot and tennis court, while older campers (who pass the Bike Safety Test) cruise the Rail Trail with counselor supervision.
Nature Walks
Time to explore! We catch bugs, inspect plants, and breathe fresh air.
Lunch & A Show (Thursdays)
Prepare to be amazed! On Thursdays, we head to Colburn Park to enjoy jugglers, magicians, and puppets hosted by the Lebanon Parks & Recreation Department—all while enjoying a
picnic lunch.
Friday Treats
We ring in the end of every week with big smiles and tasty frozen delights. Nothing beats a sweet treat after a hot week of fun!
