About Us

Camp Agawam, located on Crescent Lake in Raymond, Maine, is a traditional seven-week summer camp for boys. Founded in 1919, we will celebrate our 89th summer in 2008. Each summer we host 134 campers from 25 states and 6 foreign countries, and employ a staff of 65, including 45 cabin and activity counselors who work with, play with, and live with 4 to 8 campers in screened cabins. We are pleased to have been named one of America’s Best Camps in Richard Kennedy’s book "Choosing The Right Camp."

Camp Agawam is governed by the Agawam Council Board of Directors. Agawam Council is a non-profit corporation formed in 1985 to ensure that Agawam would continue to thrive as a summer camp after the retirement of former Directors and Owners, Dave and Peg Mason. The Agawam Council Board of Directors helps oversee the camping programs we provide, and works with our camp director to ensure an outstanding camp experience for our campers.
