Camp Hawthorne is located on 120 acres of pristine forest in Raymond, Maine, on the shores of Panther Pond. Camp Hawthorne offers several programs including a traditional general camp program, a sailing camp program and a fine arts camp program which includes theater, music, film and graphic arts. Campers stay overnight in our rustic lakeside cabins and participate in 2, 5 or 7 week programs.
Children who spend time away from home at summer camp often see their experience as one of the most important in their lives. Summer camp becomes their first real chance to discover their true self in a safe and encouraging environment. The state of Maine possesses unmatched wild beauty, and helps children reconnect with the natural world.
Camp Hawthorne balances learning new skills, building lasting friendships and enjoying the beauty of living on a lake in Maine. Our normal camp day has five periods with ample opportunity for campers to focus on the skills they wish to develop. Campers choose three of the five periods, while the other two periods are assigned by staff, and rotated daily so that each camper has a chance to try many activities while at camp. This gives campers the opportunity to discover new interests. Each day includes quiet and relaxed periods when campers can gather and spend quality time with new-found friends, or spend some down time to read a book, write a letter home, or just enjoy the beauty of their surroundings. Many of our campers have hectic and highly programmed schedules during the school year. Campers often chose our camp because our program is fun, relaxed and non-competitive. Life at summer camp is like returning to a simpler time. Camp is like a small village where friends and neighbors live close by in a trusted community. If you are considering our camp for your children, we want to encourage you to call us for references, so that you can talk to other campers and their families about our unique camp experience.
