For over 60 years, Camp Cedar provides boys with top-notch athletic programs and the perfect camping experience-authentic camp fun at their home away from home. It's located in beautiful Casco, ME, nestled between the Maine Coast and the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The Cedar experience helps boys develop character, lifelong friendships and a strong foundation for their own life journey.
Cedar builds a community where brotherhood is created from day one, it runs deep and last lifetimes. It's created by the shared experiences in the bunk, celebrating fellow camper accomplishments and working together to overcome challenges on and off the field. The Cedar community is built from The Cedar C's.

At Cedar, we strive to find a balance between fun and practice, what's a game and what's competition, the meaning of being a bunkmate, a teammate, a member of a camp family, and ultimately, of being a part of something much bigger than oneself. We believe that the Cedar experience helps the boys continue to develop character, lifelong relationships and create a foundation for each camper's own life journey.
These are the values of camp and community that Cedar was founded upon 66 years ago and are prominently displayed today along the walk to campfire. Jeff and Sue's parents Bill and Sheila Hacker and uncle Henry Hacker, along with a friend, Henry Lesser, purchased a former girls camp, Sis-o-gee, and together opened Camp Cedar for boys in 1954 with just 37 kids.
Camp Cedar is the classic family camp having been family owned and operated since its founding in 1954. Today, Jeff Hacker and his sister Sue Hacker-Wolf are the full-time, year-round directors of Cedar and carry on the camping tradition established by their parents and uncle, Bill, Sheila and Henry Hacker.
The daughter of Sue and Adam, Sammy grew up at camp and has a passion for camping. She is an amazing positive force of nature who sees the best in everybody and everything. As a Boston public school teacher, she is a dedicated educator who brings her skills into play at camp as one of the head counselors primarily in charge of our 4th grade boys.
For many years Camp Cedar has been a leader in community service, as the importance of giving back is a strong part of the value system that permeates the Cedar culture. Our community service program at camp includes campers of all age groups and we talk about the good works that we undertake as a camp community.
