Founded in 1915, the YMCA Camp of Maine has been dedicated to fulfilling the principles symbolized by the YMCA triangle, the development of MIND, BODY and SPIRIT for all. Located on the shores of Lake Cobbossee, the camp is situated on over 300 acres of pine tree forests, meadows and fresh water ponds. With one- and two-week overnight sessions, YCamp has programs for boys and girls ages 7 - 16 years.

Founded in 1915 as the overnight camping program of the State YMCA of Maine, Jeff Smith had a vision for a place where boys could come and learn how to be leaders and work with their hands. Having an experience away from the growing cities was used to teach the participants how to cut hay, work with wood, swim and boat, and live in social settings.

We come from all walks of life and from around the globe to create a community that becomes family.

Our children, now ages 21 and 16, have attended YMCA Camp of Maine for 8 years. The camp has provided a fabulous place for friendship and development, and our daughter and son have enjoyed all aspects of this hidden gem. It is a little bit of a drive to get to Winthrop from the Boston area, but it has been worth it, every year. The team at the YMCA has been run so well over the years.
As YMCA Camp of Maine is turning 100 years old this year, I hope that they have another great 100 years in front of them!
