The call of a loon on a tranquil lake, the scent of the tall pines, the freedom of the wild north woods, the excitement of exploration, the taste of trout cooked over a campfire, the beauty of wood canoes, the windswept lakes and rugged shores, the thrill of running whitewater rapids, the warmth of friendships forged by shared adventures, the pride of a job well done - these are some glimpses of a remarkable place called Darrow.
Since 1957 Darrow has led wilderness trips for young people that are truly challenging to mind and body. From our base camp in eastern Maine we send out trips into some of the most remote wilderness areas of northern Maine and the far north of Canada. Darrow is one of the premier wilderness canoe trip camps in North America and is one of the few wilderness trip camps in the United States that maintains the tradition of using wood-canvas canoes.
