Many are involved in the Historical Society, the Snow Mobile Club, or the Garden Club and use our facility when they are here for a meeting. There is also a Merrymeeting Lake Association to meet the needs of the lake residents. In addition to Lion's Club Camp Pride there is also the Birch Hill Children's Summer Camp and the year-round Christian retreat, Camp Maranatha. The children who live on Main Street are the most frequent borrowers in that age group. Those students usually use the school library, and some obtain a student patron card at Wolfeboro Public Library Preschoolers participate in the Library preschool story time programs.
Summer presents a different picture.
Our town is a popular summer vacation spot, with population doubling and sometimes tripling during pleasant summer months. The Merrymeeting Lake residents include retirees home from Florida, professionals with the summer off, and lots of children from out of state armed with summer reading lists. All of the aforementioned, except for Camp Pride, pertains to First Division. Second division also includes the Perry Hollow Country Club, and the Copple Crown Development. To reach 2 nd div., you have to go Northeast through Alton and Wolfeboro, or Southwest through Farmington and back up through Middleton.
