Camp Walt Whitman (abbreviated CWW) is a traditional, overnight, and co-educational summer camp located in Piermont, New Hampshire along the shore of Lake Armington.[1] It was founded in 1948 by Arnie and Chick Soloway and has remained in the family; it is today run by Carolyn and Jed Dorfman.[2] It is named after poet Walt Whitman.
The camp's activities include tennis, golf, archery, gymnastics, pottery, hiking, sailing, and others.[3] As of 2018[update], the cost of the camp's full seven-week session is US$12,950.[4] The majority of campers are Jewish children from the New York metropolitan area, but the camp has no official religious or geographic affiliation.[citation needed] The camp has a return rate between 85% and 90%.[3]
