Welcome to Kippewa!

Nestled on the shores of Lake Cobbosseecontee in Maine, Camp Kippewa is a one-of-a-kind overnight camp where girls discover their strengths, build confidence, and create unforgettable memories. Since 1957, we’ve fostered a choice-based environment that encourages campers to explore new interests, challenge themselves, and embrace their authentic selves.

At Camp Kippewa, we offer three distinct programs—Camp Kippewa, Camp Kippewa Point, and Kippewa Equestrian Academy—each designed to provide a unique and enriching summer experience while embracing the spirit of Kippewa.

WHY MAINE?

There’s something magical about summer camp in Maine. For over a century, Maine has been home to premier summer camps, thanks to its warm days, cool nights, and stunning natural beauty.

  • Our lakefront location – Crystal-clear Lake Cobbosseecontee is perfect for waterskiing, sailing, and canoeing, with its iconic lighthouse and private island for campouts.

  • Outdoor adventures – Campers hike to the top of Mt. Katahdin, whitewater raft down the Kennebec River, and explore Maine’s breathtaking wilderness.

  • Maine traditions – From the sounds of loons on the lake to our annual Lobster Bake, Kippewa is steeped in the authentic Maine camp experience.
