At Camp Wavus for Girls, campers “explore, challenge, learn and enjoy”. It’s a sister camp of Camp Kieve for Boys, and is open to girls aged 8-16. The full-session program lasts for 26 days, while younger campers, 2nd-4th graders, can attend the 10-day introductory program to gain the confidence of being away from home. Trips are the central part of Camp Wavus, lasting up to 22 days for the oldest and more experienced campers. Girls learn how to take calculated risks and overcome challenges, take care of themselves and their teammates, develop independence and resilience, as well as practice patience and kindness. No trip requires prior preparation or knowledge – all the necessary instruction is given by the qualified staff. The equipment provided ensures the comfort and safety of all campers.
Camp Wavus for Girls invites to experience adventures and take part in various activities. Trips are organized to help girls learn to stand for themselves, be organized and supportive, appreciate nature and never leave a trace behind. When in camp, girls can enjoy paddling kayaks, pottery, ropes course, sock puppets, yoga, badminton, arts, archery, boating, cooking, climbing , community service, drama, field sports, fishing, gardening, hiking and much more. Alongside the regular activities, Camp Wavus also offers trips to the beach, excursions, and special events.

From the Maine guide
Maine runs a short, mild summer rather than a hot one. The core camp weeks are comfortably warm by day and cool by night, with the chill deepening inland and up north, so an evening campfire earns its place even in high summer. Inland lake water warms enough for real swimming by the later weeks; the Atlantic stays cold all season, which is why a coastal swim is quick and bracing. Expect black flies and mosquitoes in the early woods, fog along the shore, and long northern daylight that keeps the day going late.

Temperature figures are drawn from NOAA/NCEI U.S. Climate Normals. Conditions vary within a state by region, elevation, and distance from the coast, so interior and higher areas generally run cooler than coastal or low-lying ones. Treat these as a general guide, not a forecast for any specific camp.
Most families reach Maine camp country through Portland International Jetport (PWM), the state's main airport, down in the south. For central lake country and the gateway to the north woods, Bangor International (BGR) can sit closer to the destination, and plenty of out-of-region families instead fly into Boston (BOS) and drive up the interstate and turnpike that run the length of the state.
From any of these, camp is a drive out of the city, sometimes an easy one and sometimes long, and the pattern holds: highway gives way to secondary roads, and for the wilderness forms the secondary roads give way to gravel and then to no road at all, where contact ends by design. Coastal and day camps invert this, sitting close to where families already are. Specific pickups, shuttles, and timing are things to settle directly with the camp.
