Wolfeboro Camp School

History
In 1910, several teachers purchased the Rust family farm in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire to establish a summer academic program called the Hill camp. The program included environmental biology courses, developmental and remedial reading, and review and preview work in secondary school subjects, and was open to applicants from all schools Grades 7 to 12. It also offered water sports, and other outdoor activities, and hired teachers from other prominent schools, and attracted students from both the US and abroad.
In 1955, four campers found two ancient canoes underwater in Rust Pond.
In 1977, a group of people associated with the school purchased The Hill Camp and incorporated it into the Wolfeboro Camp School.
