Best Summer Camps In Maine
It’s hard to imagine finding a place better than Maine to spend a summer as a child, sleeping away at camp and soaking in everything the state has to offer. The big struggle parents have when choosing summer camps has nothing to do with having too few to pick from, but there are so many in Maine.
Every year kids from around the country and the world come to Maine to spend the school break at a sleepaway camp. Your kids can stay at any one of the hundreds of camps dotted throughout the state, some with histories that stretch back more than a hundred years. The state has plenty of good overnight and day camps that are accredited by the American Camping Association.
