About Camp Chewonki

At Camp Chewonki, we believe that every camper should have the opportunity to explore and grow in a safe, supportive, and fun environment. We strive to create a community that is united by the spirit of adventure, collaboration, and camaraderie. From stories around the campfire to sunset paddles along the shore, we build our summer camp community to share the challenges and fun as a team. Campers return summer after summer to reunite with old friends and dive into the next adventure. At Chewonki, we expect every member of the community to contribute with an “all hands on deck” attitude. Camp Chewonki is the perfect place to nurture curiosity and creativity, build confidence, and learn the importance of community. Our campers explore the natural surroundings, connect with nature, and develop and strengthen independent skills. Our counselors and mentors are dedicated to helping campers build self-confidence, and develop lasting friendships. Our campers immerse themselves in fun and educational activities focused on community building, outdoor living skills, natural history, farm and food systems, and watercraft. Additional activity offerings include visual arts, performing arts, woodworking, and archery with opportunities for swimming, sports, and recreation during free time. Essential to the experience is a remote trip to a beautiful corner of Maine where they will develop transferable skills in camping and leadership to prepare them for more advanced leadership expeditions and life beyond their Chewonki summer. We offer a 3-week Full Session camp program for campers aged 10-15 and a 10-day, introduction to overnight camp called the Puffin Program for campers aged 8-11. Come experience the magic of camp and discover what’s inside of you! At Camp Chewonki, the possibilities are endless and the memories will last forever.
