Established in 1984 as a specialty program for teenagers 13-16, Maine Teen Camp aims to provide each camper with a diverse camp experience in a safe and supportive environment that promotes a sense of community, friendship, and personal growth and leadership.

The scenic 55-acre site on Stanley Lake has been home to a summer camp since the early 1900s. Prior to 1984, the site was that of Camp Hiawatha, a girls sleepaway camp. After Hiawatha closed for several years, Maine Teen Camp was formed through the joint visions of founding Directors, Kris Kamys and Jay & Karen Stager
