14 Reasons to Love Maine Camps

Let’s converse about it … there are so many reasons to love Maine Camps. While this list could be a tome, we’ll keep it short and sweet. In honor of Valentine’s Day, we’re sharing 14 reasons we’ve heard from our camp families and camp staff:

• Beautiful lakes
• Camp friends and lifelong friendships
• Memorable trips
• Special traditions
• Screen-free and social media-free
• Messy days and fun shenanigans
• Building confidence, independence, and resilience
• Getting to try new things and build new skills
• Being part of a community
• Meeting people from all over
• Lots of time being active and outdoors
• Entertaining activities day and night
• Nice break from school and home life
• Everything

We love our campers and their families, camp directors and staff, business partners, the State of Maine, and Maine associations and attractions!
