When it comes to the best summer camps, Maine has every other place beat.
It’s not hard to see why. With its rocky coast, pristine lakes, and millions of acres of forest land, Maine offers the perfect location, so it’s easy to understand why there are more summer camps in Maine than any other US state.
The problem is, whether you live in Maine or just want to send your child to a camp in the state, figuring out which camp can be an overwhelming decision.
That’s why I’m here to help! I’ve compiled a large (and continually growing) list of the best summer camps in Maine and included the most important information for you to see at a glance.
I’ve also divided the camps into several categories to make it as easy as possible for you to find exactly what you’re looking for.
Whether you want a day camp or overnight camp, one that lasts a few days or the entire summer, one that focuses on a particular interest or that offers a variety of activities, you’ll find what you’re looking for in the list below.
I’ve also provided the following key to give you an idea of the price of the camp. Costs vary widely from one to the next, so the key should help you narrow your search right off the bat.
