At Camp Takodah, we encourage teachers and group leaders to take learning outdoors, offering students the chance to live and learn through hands-on experience. You don't need to be a school group to take advantage of the wonderful opportunities that Camp Takodah has to offer. We have served parent/child groups, church youth groups, college athletic teams, professional groups, and many others. If you are interested in a Takodah program for your group, please contact us. We'll tailor a program just for you! For every group we serve, we custom design a program to suit its needs and goals, incorporating elements of teambuilding, ecology, adventure, and recreation.

Teambuilding

Learn how to work together through a progression of well-sequenced activities, including games, group initiatives, trust activities, and low and high ropes course challenges. Developing good habits in group cooperation, effective communication, and problem solving leads to a happier and more productive classroom.

Ecology

Set on 500 acres of woods and wetlands around Cass Pond, Camp Takodah has an ecologically rich property which serves as the ideal classroom for environmental discovery. Your class can explore lessons in forest and pond ecology, outdoor living skills, and natural history.

Adventure

Lessons in specific outdoor activities, such as rock climbing, canoeing, and hiking, foster personal growth and respect for the environment in which we live. Whether it is paddling on Cass Pond or hiking the celebrated Mt. Monadnock, adventure education promotes positive moral character and encourages healthy risk-taking among students.

Recreation

We can "learn more in one day of play than in a year of conversation." Camp Takodah has many opportunities for recreation, whether it’s playing games and sports on our fields, boating on Cass Pond, or working on a special art project in our Hobby Nook
