Winona History

Located on the lands of the Pequawket people, members of the Abenaki tribe and the larger Wabanaki Confederacy (learn more here), Winona Camps was founded in 1908.  Many things have remained the same over our 100 years: boys still spend their summers at camp living in canvas tents on the shores of Moose Pond and

learning outdoor living skills in western Maine. But “newer” activities, such as rock climbing, kayaking and lacrosse, compliment our history as one of the oldest summer boys camps in the country.

Boys from around the country and around the world come to summer camp each year at Winona to experience the traditions, such as the BAT, friendly Red – Gray competitions and The Great Relay. Our campers and staff represent over 25 different states and 25 different countries each summer at Winona. This diversity of people, as well as our beautiful location on Moose Pond, gives boys friendships and memories that last a lifetime. Read more about the What Sets Winona Apart.
