Camp Wanocksett is a 250-acre (1.0 km2) Boy Scouts of America camp located in Dublin, New Hampshire, about two miles (3 km) east of Monadnock State Park. It is used by the Nashua Valley Council, which is based in north-central Massachusetts, and the Order of the Arrow Grand Monadnock Lodge. Located in the forest, Camp Wanocksett borders Thorndike Pond.

Camp Wanocksett generally has a staff of around 60 people every summer. The staff consists of councilors in training (CITs) who must be at least 14 years old, a junior staff of boys age 15-17, and senior staff, who are at least age 18 (and sometimes 21 based on the position/responsibility). The senior staff are generally the program area directors. The administration consists of the Camp Director, Program Director, and their assistants, and the CIT Director. The administration positions require a minimum age of 21, with the exception of CIT Director.
