Camp Agawam, Boys summer camp on Crescent Lake in Raymond, Maine, United States
Camp Agawam is a boys summer camp situated on expansive grounds next to Crescent Lake, offering tennis courts, basketball facilities, sports fields, and archery. The lake provides direct access to water-based activities and recreational opportunities throughout the day.
The camp was founded in 1919 and operated under Mason family leadership for decades, shaping its direction and values over generations. This long-term continuity established the traditions and character that define the camp today.
The camp divides participants into two teams that compete throughout the season, helping boys develop leadership abilities and learn to work together. These group identities create strong friendships and a shared sense of belonging that extends beyond individual activities.
The camp offers multi-week summer programs for boys in various age groups, with financial assistance available to qualifying families. Visitors should expect structured days filled with scheduled activities and instruction from trained staff members.
The camp has operated a scholarship program for several decades that provides free sessions to boys from families with limited means. This long-standing commitment reflects the camp's belief that opportunity should not depend solely on family finances.
