Summer Camps in Maine

Few memories stick with us quite like those made at summer camp. Maine Summer Camps are a shining example. Whether you stay for a single day or a life-changing summer, a Maine Camp Experience has the power to shape the soul.

Family-Friendly and Kid-Friendly Summer Camps

Whether it’s a family-friendly or kid-friendly camp, the key word is “friendly.” That’s the whole idea: making new friends and bringing families closer together. Whatever option fits best, it comes with all the things that make Maine special, from the greatest of the great outdoors to the most meaningful of inner experiences.

By Location

Midcoast

From hiking and yoga to kayaking and campfires, Medomak Family Camp in Washington, Maine, is chock-full of traditional summer camp activities. It also fosters an atmosphere where adults can reconnect and relive their own summer camp days. The kids pick up on that, becoming more engaged and energized.

Kennebec River Valley

The quiet woodland surrounding Parker Pond in Mount Vernon, Maine, is an ideal environment for a summer camp, especially one that focuses on environmental responsibility.

Greater Portland & Casco Bay

Panther Lake in Raymond, Maine, is the home of Kingsley Pines, a camp with the motto “The Way Summer Camp Should Be.” It could also be a mission statement. This coed, overnight camp for kids ages 8-16 is dedicated to providing the activities and learning of traditional summer camp where everyone is encouraged to be themselves.

Kids Only

Sometimes a kid just wants to be a kid. Surrounded by other kids. In a summer camp just for kids. Well, those kids have come to the right place in Maine. And here are some of the places where lifelong memories and lifelong friends are made.

Alford Lake Camp in Hope, Maine, isn’t just a camp for kids, it’s a camp just for girls. This overnight camp for girls 8-17 has a focus on friendship, fun, adventure and educational growth.
