In 1920, The Boston Missionary Society, a benevolent organization committed aiding the physical and spiritual needs of the poor though a variety of programs including summer camps, founded Camp Andover on Pomp's Pond. Operated in partnership with F.H. Foster of Andover who donated the use of over sixty acres of land, the camp had the mission of providing outdoor recreational opportunities for city children.  In 1934, the Camp relocated to Lake Winnisquam in Meredith, New Hampshire. Historical records and photographs of Camp Andover are held in the [http://www.congregationallibrary.org/finding-aids/CMS1031 Congregational Library and Archives] and Library in Boston.
