Come explore the forests, shores, and waters of Camp Tuckernuck...
The Deering Lake Education Center (home to Camp Tuckernuck) occupies 12 acres of land on Wolf Hill in Deering, NH. The
surrounding 300 acres is owned by the Society for the Protection of NH Forests.
This land has a rich history of wilderness and development, and currently lies under heavy forests.
Our facilities include a
beach and dock for swimming and boating, three large sleeping cabins, a
bathhouse, a dining/activity hall and sports fields.
Here are a few of the sites you'll find as you walk around camp:

The Dock
  This is a favorite site for swimming, jumping, or just soaking up the sun. Wide, shallow rocks enable young swimmers to reach the tiny islands just offshore.

 Deering
Lake
This reservoir provides an ideal environment for swimming, boating, fishing,
and exploring. Whether you stay close to the beach, venture up the streams
and canyons of our shoreline, paddle out to the islands, or take a day trip
across the lake to explore the other side, you're bound to discover something
new and exciting!
|
The Cabins
 We have three large cabins, each equipped with screens, desks, chairs, and bunkbeds for 12 campers or counselors. Between the cabins, a volleyball court provides a good space for meetings or play.

The Fields
 The
woodlands surrounding our camp feature several open areas that we use for
recreational, team-building, and orienteering games. You can hide, seek,
or just poke around among our green spaces, natural boundaries, and old stone
walls... |
|
The Wetlands
  Our
camp lands include exciting, ever-changing natural wetlands, with plenty of
opportunities to explore and discover the activities of our wild neighbors.

The Old Mill Site
 If
you follow the old trail, you might find an old mill site where long ago, a dam
blocked the stream. Now, all that remains are these fantastic stone ruins! |
|
Beautiful New Hampshire!
Many of our programs offer day trips and longer journeys to
explore the New Hampshire wilderness and park systems outside our camp
boundaries.
