Camp North Star of Maine

Camp North Star, located in beautiful Poland Spring, Maine is the best choice for an overnight camp experience for you and your family. We understand that the kids today, as well as their families not only want choices, they need them. Summer vacations hardly feel like vacations anymore. Kids have more commitments and more requirements placed upon them every year. School sport schedules, community service hours, internships, college prep classes, and sometimes even splitting time between divided households, it’s a lot to juggle. At Camp North Star, we having been paying attention to the needs of our campers and their families for years and we get it!

Children today are less active because of an increased dependency on technology. A recent study in Canada found that only 7% of children aged 6 to 19 receive their recommended one hour of exercise per day. Being active all day at camp, and away from technology, leads to a healthier lifestyle for campers. Our Maine overnight camp offers activities with choices in arts, athletics, outdoors and waterfront. Camp North Star is proud to be a technology-free camp. There are no phones, tablets, computers or gaming devices. That means instead of having their face looking at a screen; campers follow a daily routine of meals, physical activity, and special events while learning to improve their interpersonal communication skills with fellow campers. Most of our activities are outdoors to take advantage of our picturesque Maine overnight camp on 200 acres and a private lake.
