Kawanhee for Boys,
operated by the George and Raymond Frank Foundation,
is located in pristine pine woods along Webb Lake,
a mountain lake 85 miles north of Portland, Maine.
Founded in 1920, the camp's stated mission is "to
provide boys and young men with experiential educational
opportunities designed to encourage self-sufficiency
and teamwork and an appreciation of the natural
world."
 Boys
entering third grade to age 16 attend camp for
sessions ranging from 2 to 7 weeks, living in
lodges with 8-10 others. As they swim, fish, sail
and hike, they can observe the abundant wildlife
in the area. While the boys meet challenges in
a variety of team sports, camp activities such
as the rope course, and numerous trips, they also
have the opportunity to work on projects in arts
& crafts and the woodworking and lapidary
shops. A trip program offers shore trips, white
water rafting, mountain trips and survival trips.
Blending
activity time with free time, campers learn about
outdoor living, gain athletic skills, and develop
respect for the natural world within the supportive
camp community.

Kawanhee for Boys Web site.
