A Maine Summer Camp
Welcome to Camp Manitou, a summer camp for boys ages 7 to 16, located in the beautiful Belgrade Lakes region of Maine. Founded in 1947, Manitou is one of the nation’s foremost camps.
We’re sure that after you learn about our outstanding summer camp staff, facilities, programs and activities, you’ll understand why so many boys make Manitou their summer home.
Letter from the Directors
Summer camp in Maine means sunny days, cool nights and fresh air. But there is something even more unique about our summer camp. We call it Manitou Magic.
It's the bond between campers and counselors. A sense of family strengthened by the presence of cousins, brothers, and sons of former campers. Learning not only how to play, but how to win and, yes, lose. It allows the youngest camper to compete in front of the whole camp without fear - he's among friends cheering him on, no matter what.
It means unmatched amenities absent from other summer camps. Like a lighted ball-field with a replica of the Green Monster from Fenway Park. A drama program lead by five full-time theater professionals. Camp-outs on our own island or within a gated fortress deep in the woods. The magic doesn't end with the summer - it continues all year with ski trips and reunions at major sporting events across the country.
If you think Manitou Magic sounds corny, that's OK - we didn't make up the name. Our campers did.
Jon and Dave, Directors
