In the foothills of the White Mountains on the southern Maine side, there is a remarkably modern and beautiful camp founded in 1908 with a legacy of camaraderie, teamwork, tradition, experiential outdoor learning, and personal growth: West End House Camp.

West End House Camp is an ACA Accredited overnight summer camp for boys ages 7-15.  Your son shares a cabin with 9-10 other boys and 3 counselors.  West End House Camp offers 7, 4, 3, and 2 week sessions throughout the summer. The camp focuses its days’ activities on the waterfront, sports, games and challenges. West End House Camp has the perfect combination of rotating campers through the wide variety of activities they have, while still having elective time where the boys can do more of what they like best.

West End House Camp campers become more independent, self-confident, responsible, and social without even realizing it! West End House Camp is known for its continuity and the passion that campers develop for the camp and the lifelong friendships that quickly evolve. While many of the campers have been coming for years (as did some of their fathers and grandfathers), they are a very welcoming and comfortable place that enrolls many dozen newcomers each year. Additionally, the long-time, dedicated staff and counselors are almost all former West End House Camp campers, so they know how to make sure the campers feel supported and nurtured in their first or their fifth year!

West End House Camp is also known for the diversity and quality of their campers! They welcome boys from many different states and countries. West End House Camp are diverse in terms of ethnicity, race, religion, family situations, and socioeconomic status, and they are proud of this! They emphasize mutual respect and equal opportunity for all.
