Camps with transportation in Maine

Ages 4–16 · $380–$575/week

A private school's day-camp division in South Berwick spanning STEAM, arts, and sports programming across a wide age range (3–18), taught by "Berwick faculty and staff, plus visiting professionals"; being embedded in an established private school gives it institutional credibility but the program itself has little independent public review presence.

Ages 8–15 · $6,500/session

A sports-specialty overnight camp for boys on the Bridgton Academy campus in North Bridgton, running all-inclusive 3-week sessions and pairing athletic coaching with traditional camp elements (waterfront, cabin life); ACA accreditation and a relatively low Google review count (compared to the larger traditional camps in this list) are consistent with a newer or more niche program (one review referenced its "inaugural summer in 2011").

As published: $6,500 per 3-week session, all-inclusive (2027 sessions); $200 early-enrollment discount if enrolled by Dec 31, 2026, bringing it to $6,300

Ages 6–15 · $5,550–$10,150/session

An all-girls, choice-based camp on Lake Cobbosseecontee in Monmouth running since 1957, structured as two linked programs (a 3.5-week traditional session and a 2-week "Kippewa Point" session) spanning a wide age range (grades 2–10); the two-tier structure suggests a camp deliberately built to accommodate both younger, shorter-stay campers and older returners.

A large (300-camper), well-resourced girls' camp on Echo Lake in Fayette on a 300+ acre campus, founded 1936, with a notably high stated camper-return rate (95%+); scale and stated retention together suggest a camp with a strong, loyal existing family base more than one relying on new-customer acquisition.

As published: Base tuition: $18,000 per full summer session (2027: June 26–Aug 11); additional Personal/Trip/Outing fee of $450

Ages 7–16 · $5,900–$17,900/session

A large, long-running (1922) coed traditional camp in Hartford with separate Kids/Teen/LIT program tracks and an explicitly international camper and staff base; the sheer scale of its online review footprint (by far the most of any camp in this list) signals a camp with substantial year-round marketing reach and a large annual enrollment.

As published: Kids Camp: Full Session (7 wks) $15,900 / Two-Week Rookie $5,900; Teen Camp: Full Session $16,900; LIT Full Session $17,900 — per-session, Summer 2027 published rates (priority-pricing discounts of $300–$500 apply through Sept 30)

Ages 8–15 · $11,900–$17,950/session

A traditional boys' camp on Echo Lake in Fayette that has "intentionally remained" small (no enrollment figure published) with an international camper base; its founding year is genuinely uncertain — widely cited as 1919 by third parties but not confirmed anywhere in the camp's own on-site copy reviewed.

As published: Full Summer: $17,950; 1st Session: $11,900; 2nd Session: $11,900 — per-session, Summer 2027
