Camp Gottalikachallenge
We run one of the oldest creativity camps in the nation. Every year, we welcome campers from all over the world to a week of fun at a variety of sites around New Hampshire. Our camp program focuses on helping each camper to develop their creative potential. The goal is to empower our campers to approach life’s challenges with confidence. We do this by honing their creative and critical thinking skills, leadership skills, problem solving abilities, and teamwork.
