Camp Overview
Camp Matoaka is a premier girls’ overnight camp on a beautiful lake in Maine. Campers range in age from 7-15 and come from across the country. Every summer, Camp Matoaka brings together a team of mature, fun, spirited, energetic, and dedicated staff to provide our campers with unforgettable summers!
We clearly want our campers to shine throughout the summer and to have those moments of pure joy and happiness, and meaningful connection. But to be honest, we want those moments for all our staff as well. Because it is important for all of us to find those moments of happiness and connection, and to be supported with encouragement and understanding. This is why Camp Matoaka focuses on building an inclusive environment. Our goal is to create a place, One Great Place, where both campers and our staff can grow and learn from each other to find their best self.
From the moment our campers were driven down the dirt road in 1951 and laid their eyes on the pink cabins they have affectionately referred to their experience as ‘Matoaka Magic’, and that feeling never leaves you.
Isn’t it about time to experience some magic yourself? We promise you one thing, a summer at Matoaka will be unlike anything you’ve ever imagined!
