Message From The Director As you can imagine, this has been a year full of trials and challenges. No one had a crystal ball and could foretell that a worldwide pandemic would cause us to cancel all of our spring school programs, delay the start of our sailing season until July and severely limit our ability to carry out our mission of educating the children, residents, and visitors to the Seacoast area about the maritime heritage and environment of this iconic watershed. However, our staff and crew are a tough and resourceful lot, and even with the prospect of cancelling […]

Our 2020 half-day River Rats program will be action-packed and adventure-filled just like our typical full day programs. Some of our campers’ favorite activities are still on the agenda: kayaking, exploring nearby islands, scavenger hunts, games, and learning about critters. We will likely start our half-day with an icebreaker or no-contact game, then get into our main activity for the majority of the time (maybe 2 activities, like a scavenger hunt and swimming, if there’s time!) and then regroup for a craft or game at the end of the half-day. We are offering several half day programs each week for […]

Dear Camp Families, As many of you know, Governor Sununu announced this past Friday that summer day camps may start operating on June 22nd. Along with this announcement Sununu released a series of guidelines for opening camps. The Gundalow Company staff has spent the last several days reviewing these guidelines and aligning them with our existing program and safety standards and have come to the difficult realization that several of these guidelines make it impossible to operate our summer camp program as it exists. Based on the group size recommendations of 8 campers/group and the need to increase our staff […]
