An excerpt from Crotched Mountain Foundation, A History, by Philip E. Ginsburg, 1988, page 3.

[Harry] Gregg was instrumental in organizing and supporting a Community Council in Nashua to oversee and raise money for local charities. He had become particularly concerned about the children of poor families, and began by arranging for children from Nashua to stay with hosts outside the city during the summer school vacation. Exposure to the simpler life of the countryside would invigorate children demoralized by poverty and tempted by corruptions of the city. But the need was greater than these arrangements could manage, and Gregg was soon looking for an alternative.

On a trip to buy lumber for the family mills, he had first seen Sunset Lake at the base of a mountain in Greenfield, N.H. Soon he had bought the surrounding land, hired a local carpenter, donated lumber form Gregg and Sons, and begun construction of a camp. The two older Gregg sons, David and Alan, were dispatched during the summers to help in the construction; Harry Gregg wanted the two teenagers to learn to work with their hands.

The camp was licensed in 1925 as Camp Greggson, but even the indirect recognition through his sons must have seemed ostentatious to Harry Gregg and the following year it was changed to Camp Watananock. Over the decades new buildings expanded the camp - now called the Nashua Fresh Air Camp - to serve more than 350 children each summer in two-week sessions, at no cost to their families. In later years the third son, Hugh, made his contribution, serving as director for several summers.
