What We Love

The Location

Kamp Kohut looks like every Hollywood camp filmset. High-beamed wooden dining halls, villages of white-painted cabins and over half a mile of pine-fringed waterfront. Only this filmset is real. And is three hours from Boston, deep inside Maine’s Southern Lakes.

The Values

Founded in 1907 by Dr. George Kohut, the camp was originally created as a refuge from the heat and pollution of the city. Today the promotion of healthy living, outdoor activities and enriching the lives of young people remains at the heart of Kamp Kohut. 

The Community

The respect and acceptance that Kamp Kohut shows to its campers it also passes on to its community. Campers can take part in community activities, such as fundraising for sick children, visiting a local Special Needs Camp and environmental conservation.  

The Outdoors

From hiking the Appalachian trail to fishing in the Atlantic, once a week campers leave their camp bubble to explore Maine. This includes an overnight camping trip in a Maine State Park where they learn how to pitch a tent, build a campfire and hone their survival skills.

If You Go Down To The Woods Today Old School Looks With New School Looks

Hiking up mountains, catching lobsters on the lake, playing guitar around the campfire... Kamp Kohut looks every bit like its 1907 heritage. However, Kamp Kohut is a traditional family-run camp with a progressive outlook: believing that children grow by having the freedom to make their own choices.  

Situated on 100 acres of pine-centred woodlands and along the crystal-clear shores of Lake Thompson, Kamp Kohut creates a positive environment and supported space for children to try new things, grow in confidence and to develop  skills. Four weeks doesn’t seem like a long time, but the impact of that summer can last a lifetime. For them – and for you. Make a difference this summer, become a Camp Counsellor or Activity Specialist at Kamp Kohut. 

A Typical Day Working Camp Kohut

Kamp Kohut is split into two four-week summer camps, although staff must be available to stay for the whole summer. In every seven-day schedule there are five regular activity days, one Trip Day where campers leave to explore Maine, and one Blue & White Day which is a day of fun activities and team building.
