2023 Maine Camp Directory

Dear Future Campers (and camp parents and guardians who may choose to
read this…),

     The directory you hold in your hands is in one
sense, a straightforward list of contact information
and website details for Maine Summer Camps’ 150+
member camps. These camps come in all shapes and
sizes, and whatever your age, interest, or budget,
there is a camp for you.
     In another sense though, this directory is a map to
a fantastic adventure: a key to open the door to a whole new world of
friendships; an instruction manual to learning wonderful new skills; and a
mirror that will help you see yourself in new and inspiring ways.
     Maine camps have always been places where young people from across the
state, country, and world have gathered to share new experiences and grow
in every positive way imaginable. For over a century, parents have sent their
campers to Maine to undertake adventure, meet new friends and role models,
learn new skills without stress or schedule, learn how to be away from home,
and in the process learn about who they are and who they want to become.
It’s not just the lakes, mountains, oceans, rivers and endless forests that make
Maine camps special. It is the culture of support, growth, and positive change
that have always set, and continue to elevate Maine camps to a whole other
level.
     This guide you hold in your hands is more than just a list of names and
numbers. It is the introduction to a world of communities, connections, and
activities that you will carry with you for the rest of your life. We know it
requires a great deal of courage to head off and spend a summer at a new
place, but you should feel great about taking that bold leap, because there is a
very good chance it will be the best thing you ever did.
     Good luck, enjoy discovering your new camp, and please call the MSC office
with any questions.

See you in Maine.
Matt

WHY A MAINE SUMMER CAMP?
There’s no place quite like Maine
For more than 100 years, families have come to appreciate Maine’s summer camps as a
haven for kids to experience natural beauty and old-fashioned values.
Maine is more than a place—it’s a feeling you get as soon as you arrive. Suddenly, the
air’s a little fresher, the pines taller, the lakes clearer. You can hear the essence of Maine
in the cry of a loon, taste it in a fresh-caught trout, and watch the sun rise a little earlier
in Maine than anywhere else in America. Fact is, there’s more of Maine, and more to
Maine, than the rest of New England combined: deeper forests, bigger lakes, more rugged
mountains, longer rivers and more than 3000 miles of shoreline.

help develop skills in sports and outdoor adventure; some teach a musical instrument,
others may inspire kids to plant the seeds of the next forest.
Whether operating public or private camps, all Maine camp directors take a highly

Helping kids reach their full potential
Our high-tech lifestyle gives kids today opportunities never dreamed of before. But many
kids miss out on some of the most important ingredients in becoming healthy adults:
connection to nature; exercise and play; meaningful friendships; and positive adult role
models.
