Over the years, Kennebec has provided a unique experience for children that often differs from the life style to which they are accustomed. Starting in 1907 campers ventured into the rustic Maine woods for eight weeks each summer to share experiences and adventures in the outdoors, build self esteem, make friends, and learn about themselves. Although Kennebec's specific activities have evolved, those same values are the core of our current programs. All our programs emphasize cooperation, teamwork, challenge, adventure and support.

In 1907 the first "class" of boys (Kennebec was an all boys camp until the late 1980's) gathered to spend a summer along the shores of Lake Salmon in Belgrade, Maine. Little could they know the tradition of life-inspiring memories they were originating. Since 1907 thousands of children have come together to explore and understand the natural environment, gain skills in outdoor living and get to know themselves; summers at Kennebec always mean growing as an individual. 1998 was our first season to offer our new and now core program, Kennebec Jr. Golf Camp, that incorporates quality golf instruction with traditional camp living at our Maine Golf Academy. We offer an experiential education style based on the kinship of fun and learning. Every summer since 1907, new campers arrive, participate in the camp's traditions, add their own special mark to our growing numbers, and enjoy A summer that lasts a lifetime.
