You can’t go very far at Kingsley Pines without hearing a laugh or seeing a smile. Our summer camp is the place where your child learns to share, listen, work well with others, and is free to just be a kid.

Safe Surroundings
Our trained mature counselors have a genuine interest in and compassion for children. All counselors are screened and then carefully chosen to be positive role models. This safe surrounding nurtures and challenges each child so they can develop a higher level of self-confidence.

Enriching Environment
Our staff understands that a child first needs to feel secure before they will explore and try new things. Kingsley Pines non-regimented sessions foster independence and give campers the responsibility of choosing all their own activities. Through daily interaction with fellow campers and staff, children learn to problem solve and help others. Camp gives them a true sense of who they are and how they can contribute to the community around them.

Friendships Forever
Living, laughing, and playing together connects our campers in ways that form lifelong friendships. Kingsley Pines is like a village where every camper feels comfortable, whether they are a first time or returning camper. Our camp is so much fun they’ll want to come back year after year!

A Complete Camp Experience
Attending Kingsley Pines allows flexibility in planning your summer. Choose any of the three sessions and your child will have all the benefits of a whole camp experience. It’s the way camp should be.

Timanous is located 22 miles from Portland Maine on a large lake with open fields and pine forests. Timanous has 125 campers and boasts an impressive return rate of both campers and counselors. Our small size gives Timanous a real family feel where everyone knows everyone and campers and counselors of all ages interact.

Ninty years after the founders created the Timanous triangle promoting the development of body, mind and spirit, these ideals seem more important than ever in providing boys with a safe place to try new things, interact with sympathetic adults and peers, and gain social poise and confidence, in an atmosphere of fun and excitement.

Timanous is not a luxury camp. Our emphasis is on the benefits to the boys of a simple, healthful, life among interested, capable, and caring people. The campers and counselors live in wooden cabins with no electricity. Modern bathrooms are located in close proximity to the cabins.

Our camper to counselor ratio is at least 3 to 1. 90% of our counselors were Timanous campers and average over 10 years at camp. Many are teachers in the “off” season.

We strive for a wide cultural and geographic diversity in our community and last summer,we had representatives from 23 states and 8 countries.

First time visitors to Timanous usually comment on how friendly, helpful and nice both the staff and campers are.

Campers chose their activities on a daily basis.

Underlying the whole positive experience at Timanous is our conviction that a Timanous summer offers far more than a vacation - that it is an investment in a boy's education in its fullest sense.
