The Maine Difference
Maine Camps are some of the best summer camps in the country. No other region has the same quality, number and history of overnight camps. Each year more than 65,000 campers experience Maine summer camps. That’s more than two million alumni.
Forbes Magazine
“Camp purists point to Maine camps as the most traditional, sought-after experiences, mostly because of Maine’s abundant wilderness and pristine lakes and beaches.”
Community of Camps
Maine Camp Experience (MCE) represents a community of established camps dedicated to providing children with the highest quality summer camp experiences that parents seek. These member camps teach children the life skills they need to succeed as young adults: self-esteem, independence, communication, collaboration, and resilience. Maine Camps share common ideals and values which help young people grow and mature.
MCE Directors
Maine Camp directors are highly regarded camp leaders, many of whom represent their family’s second or third generation in the camping industry. Many of these directors started as campers and counselors themselves.
Maine summer camps become your child’s second home — where your child will flourish in a safe, fun and peaceful environment.
