Founded in 1902, Camp Cobbossee is one of the oldest continuously run boys camps in the country. Cobbossee is
the "home away from home" for 225 boys each summer. Cobbossee is located in Monmouth, Maine, 15 miles west of
the capitol, Augusta. The campus is set on a half-mile of shoreline on magnificent Lake Cobbosseeconteee.
It is a classic setting for a "Maine" camp. Many of the Cobbossee traditions are carried on today by the children
and grandchildren of Cobbossee alumni.
Cobbossee's boys range in age from 6-16. Approximately 6-12 campers and 2-3 counselors live together in each
cabin. Many of the boys attend camp for 7-8 years, and consider their friends at Cobbossee their extended family.
Camp Cobbossee is the place where our boys (and staff) make "Friendships for a lifetime!"
Each summer, campers new and old come to Cobbossee full of curiosity, spirit, enthusiasm and energy. Cobbossee
channels that energy and enthusiasm into the wide range of activities, helping each boy to succeed in whatever
areas of interest that he chooses to pursue. The camp's size allows for individual attention to our campers and
guarantees that each boy feels that Cobbossee is his summer home. Individual attention, excellent sports
instruction, and all-out fun and excitement, are the hallmarks of a Cobbossee summer.
Cobbossee's campus has undergone an extensive renovation including renovated cabins, fresh
landscaping and a new indoor gymnasium.
We are fortunate to have our sister camp, Kippewa for Girls, less than 1/4 mile away on the
shores of Cobbosseeconte. Each camps programming is separate, so that our campers receive a
true, boys-camp experience. Siblings and cousins who attend the two camps can visit regularly,
and boys and girls in the same age groups have the opportunity to get to know each other in
socially appropriate, low-key camp activities.
