Group Retreats & Rentals

We have been providing experiences for families and community groups of the Monadnock region and beyond for over 95 years. In the spring, fall and winter we are always delighted to open Camp Takodah to the surrounding community to be used as a group retreat or getaway. Groups can stay the night on their way to Mt. Monadnock, or spend a few days as they provide their own programming.With a maximum capacity of 250 youth we hope that Camp Takodah can offer a wonderful place for whatever it is you are looking for:
