Overnight Boys Camp In Maine - Camp Timanous

Camp Timanous is a boys overnight summer camp located in Southern Maine, 25 miles west of Portland on the shores of Panther Pond, a beautiful New England setting.

Raymond, NY (prHWY.com) May 9, 2012 - Here boys have fun, learn new skills, enjoy the outdoors, make lifelong friends, and return home more self-reliant, self-sufficient, and self-confident.

Campers choose from a variety of activities including sailing, swimming, kayaking, canoeing, water skiing, tennis, soccer, lacrosse, wood working, basketball, baseball, riflery, archery, running, pottery, hiking, fishing, campcraft, and nature. Timanous also has a strong camping trip program.

An all boys camp, staffed by adults with often decades of experience, and counselors themselves former campers, Timanous sets high expectations - for behavior, achievement, integrity - while offering boys independence, choice and responsibility. Its emphasis on values and traditions give the boys a sense of being part of something very special and they rise to the challenges of camp while having a great time.

Timanous boys have always reveled in the natural environment unencumbered by modern distractions allowing personal relations to develop without complications from material goods. Camp life is not self-consciously or synthetically simple but naturally so in keeping with its setting. Camp is not meant as a novelty or antidote for our frenetic modern society but as another door to understanding the world in which we live. The camp has all the modern conveniences but they are not found in the camper's cabins. Lighting is natural or provided by lantern and flashlight, spoken stories replace recorded entertainment and sunsets supplant TV sets.

A primary principle at Timanous is the belief in the role and rights of the individual. We believe that group activities are essential to a boy's development, that he must learn "give and take", cooperation, interdependence, but that these should never overwhelm the individual. Boys and counselors live together in large rustic cabins in a sharing, sympathetic environment.
