Review of Sandy Island Family Camp, YMCA...

A great getaway into Lake Winnipesaukee, especiall...

A great getaway into Lake Winnipesaukee, especially for families. I've been going most summers since I was a child. It's not exactly a camp, as you get a cabin, but it is still rustic. For food there is a common dining hall. There are a large number of recreational activities and many programs for children and young adults at all age levels. Also, Sandy Island is like a small village with a distinct feeling and culture that can vary week by week, as many campers return to the same week each summer. Sandy Island has been a recreational camp site of increasing development going back to the 1890s, and is run by the YMCA of greater Boston.
