Camp Andover

In 1920, The Boston Missionary Society, a benevolent organization committed to aiding the physical and spiritual needs of the urban poor though a variety of programs including youth camps, founded Camp Andover on Pomp's Pond. Operated in partnership with F.H. Foster of Andover who donated the use of over sixty acres of land, the camp had the mission of providing outdoor recreational opportunities for city children. In 1934, the Camp relocated to Lake Winnisquam in Meredith, New Hampshire. Historical records and photographs of Camp Andover are held in the Congregational Library and Archives and Library in Boston.
