Campton Civics and Town Government
Registered voters in Campton meet annually in March to act as the town’s legislative body and vote on budget, ordinances, and other matters of town government in the Town Meeting. Between these yearly meetings the town Selectmen’s Board, Officers, Committees, and School Board conduct the day-to-day business of governing the town of Campton. Your awareness of and participation in county, state, and national government are every bit as important as local engagement.
Monthly Civic Calendar
We post calendar events for Campton town board, commission, and committee meetings and other events of local interest.
If you know of an event that you would like to have considered for inclusion on the calendar, please message CamptonForwardInfo@gmail.com with details.
