Located on over 300 acres near the coast, our international Maine summer camp features the finest in visual and performing arts, challenging outdoor adventures, horse-riding and much more on 330 acres with a private lake and heated pool near the Maine coast.

Depending on your interest, HVC is an art camp, a horse camp, an outdoor adventure camp, a performing arts camp, a dance camp, or a water sports camp. Or — because you choose your activities — it can be all of these! Professional staff provide challenging individualized teaching and counseling designed to foster independence, community and creativity in all dimensions of children’s summer experience.

Campers come from all over the US and 5 continents. Great food, many choices, support for allergies. Directors have lived on site for over 20 years. A parent writes: “It is a truly extraordinary camp, fun, interesting, inclusive, and with the kind of values that indirectly teach kids how to be better human beings. Each year my kids go there, I see so many positive changes when they return home.”

I am often asked, "What sets our camp apart from other camps?" Well, I tell people...Wekeela is gorgeous, the campers are fantastic, our facilities are top notch, the lake has pristine waters, and there is magic at Wekeela. Yes, we have great campers-after all, the apple does not fall from the tree. Our staff is the grand equalizer. We are so privileged to have dedicated men and women return year after year to the shores of Little Bear Pond. They return because they love Wekeela, they love Maine. They return because they understand what camp is about. It's about being a role model to children. It is about being a teacher, it is about having tremendous FUN. Our staff affects, shapes, and defines our campers' summer like no other individual. Our staff understands that Wekeela is not just camp, it's a way of life."
