One of Maine’s premier summer camp for girls has returned to East Lake. With brand new facilities, leadership, and culture, Camp Somerset for Girls is dedicated to providing every camper with an increased sense of self-worth and the fulfillment that comes from the experiences and relationships of summer camp.

The Somerset program is designed to provide campers with fun and opportunity through a balance of elective activities, bunk activities, intracamp and intercamp competitions, day and overnight trips, community service projects, special events, and a comprehensive evening program that allows campers to display their talents, relax in the peacefulness of camp, or just be downright silly. Our broad range of activities allows campers to hone existing skills in the areas they are most passionate about and challenge themselves to try something new for the very first time. The comprehensive program provides opportunities for individual growth and achievement, and also teaches the virtues that can only be learned as part of a team and through healthy competition.

Most of all, the Somerset program creates opportunities for girls to feel empowered, encouraged, and inspired. We want our campers to take healthy risks and try something new. We want them campers to be good teammates and hold their heads high in both victory and defeat. We want them to put an arm around a friend in need and welcome one in return. We want them to be themselves and share their unique gifts. Above all else. we want them to experience these moments and create lifelong memories surrounded and uplifted by a community of friends, teachers, and role models.
