For over 100 years, Fernwood has been a home away from home where girls can enhance their sense of self, live simply, and grow into confident, kind, independent young women. While embracing the Maine outdoors, each camper builds her own individualized schedule, choosing from activities on the water, in the arts, and in athletics. From day trips to overnight adventures, campers also enjoy hiking, canoeing, surfing, and berry picking throughout the state of Maine.

With 225 campers and more than 150 staff members, Fernwood is a community that feels like a big family, where close relationships and thoughtful guidance ensure every camper is truly known and supported.
