Wyonegonic Camp for Girls is a place where a young girl can come to challenge herself and find her inner strength. The camp is located on Moose Pond in Denmark, Maine and is the oldest girls' camp in the nation. Wyonegonic offers both 3.5 and 7 week programs for girls aged 8 to 18, with a ratio of one counselor to three campers. With 750 acres of pine forest and thousands of feet of waterfront, Wyonegonic has something to offer every camper as they explore new activities in a safe, non-competitive atmosphere.
At Wyonegonic, campers are encouraged to be themselves and develop lasting friendships in the simplicity of the outdoors. Wyonegonic counselors are positive mentors and have a minimum of one year of college. They provide a supportive environment for the girls and help them to develop life skills and values that will benefit them in the future. The most important goal of the counselors is to ensure that the campers feel physically and emotionally safe away from home.
The Wyonegonic Program offers flexibility within a general structure. Waterfront and outdoor activities dominate a program that offers a wide range of traditional camp activities. Each camper designs her own schedule consisting of five activity periods each day. Swim lessons are required for all campers. Our Junior and Intermediate campers can also choose activities as a week long focus for in-depth instruction. For new campers, classes in the Outdoor Living Skills Program are required as preparation for out of camp trips. A daily choice activity completes the five activity periods. Schedules change weekly so campers have the ability to try many new things. Senior camp runs a separate program with increased daily choice and flexibility as well as several activities that are available only to the teenagers.
