Camp

10/10 would go again

I have gone here since I was 4. I still go, and I LOVE it. I highly suggest going to this amazing camp.

Great place to vacation with the family!

Great camp, extremely knowledgable folks work to provide comfortable camp in the North Woods. Qwners onsite every day. Good hunting , very competent guides who work hard to help guesta succeed and enjoy their time at camp. Cabins are fully equipped. Going back again with more family and friends!

Great location, great food, amazing hospitality. The solitude of Deboullie with the comforts of home. Jen and Gloria do great work and this may very well become an annual pilgrimage for me.

A truly special place. Lifetime memories made here.

Our family has been enjoying the Camp Laurel experience for the past seven years. The time our three boys have spent at Camp Laurel has been filled with not only fun and great memories, but most importantly, new friendships that will last a lifetime. When we first started researching overnight camps, it was important to us to find a place where all three of our boy’s individual interests would be nurtured. One of them is a sports fanatic and extremely athletic, our youngest son is very creative, and our middle child does it all. When looking at camps, we also wanted to expose our kids to children from areas outside of our hometown. We wanted them to have the opportunity to make new friendships with kids from different cities and backgrounds. From the moment we walked onto the Camp Laurel grounds, we knew we were in a special place. The camp is not only kept in pristine condition, you also can’t help but be blown away by the beauty of the Maine backdrop. My husband and I were both mesmerized by the incredible waterfront and the abundance of amenities. During our camp tour with Jem, Debbie and Keith, we noticed that they had a lot of genuine interaction with campers of all ages. This especially stuck out to us, because it was obvious that the directors themselves and their staff are not only fun and enthusiastic, but also approachable and caring people. At the end of our camp visit, my husband turned to me and said, “I know this is the place our kids should be.” That was the moment we became part of the Camp Laurel family. The last seven summers at Camp Laurel have been nothing short of spectacular. The athletic, waterfront and arts and crafts programs are top notch. The staff members who run these special areas are extremely knowledgeable in their fields and help the children explore their interests and build their confidence. Since day one of our children going to Camp Laurel, Jem, Debbie and Keith have always been extremely accessible and invested a lot of time getting to know our children and their interests. Camp laurel has mastered the balance of what a true camp experience should be because there is something for everyone. We have always been particularly impressed by the waterfront activities where the kids have the opportunity to learn how to waterski, sail and wakeboard. This past winter while we were on vacation, our oldest son took us sailing for the first time. It was a very special moment for all of us, a moment that originated on Echo Lake at Camp Laurel. Every year, the camp continues to expand the facility and the offerings of activities. It seems like the day Camp ends, they break ground on a new project that enhances the experience for the following summer. The Camp Laurel aerial park keeps getting bigger, the fields and courts are kept in immaculate condition, and this year, the new dining hall was huge hit with our kids. This coming summer our oldest son will be a super senior. During his past seven years at Laurel, he has made friends that he now considers his brothers. Also, to see how our children have grown and matured over the past several years at Camp Laurel has been amazing. Their summers in Maine have not only given them rich memories and experiences, but have helped them grow and mature into independent, self-sufficient young adults. Our children consider Camp Laurel their home away from home. They are literally counting down the days till the summer of 2018!

I haven't been to this camp, but I really want to go, I see this camp on tv ALL the time, and, I love working and so I would really want to be A counselor/CIT, but I also live in N.H and you guys are almost 4 hours away from me

Enjoying, relaxing, beautiful. A little piece of paradise..

Great snow mobile stop. The people are so friendly and the food is very good.

Great place, great grouse hunting. The food is excellent, the cabins are super, and the hospitality is superb.

Igor, Karen and the whole staff go out of their way to make this place a fun, safe, relaxing piece of Maine wilderness for their guests. People come for the hunting, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, and just plain relaxing. Accessible either by float plane or by logging roads, the camp is remote, but does not feel like "roughing it". Cabins have gas lights, wood stoves, daily cleaning service, and hot & cold running water. Electricity is provided by a generator in the main cabin, so you can charge your electronics, but there is no WiFi nor mobile phone service. They have a sat phone for emergencies, but the camp is really a place to unplug and get away from the demands and distractions of modern life. Food is plentiful, wholesome, and definitely meat-oriented. The chef will accommodate special diets, but call ahead, because there is no grocery store around the corner to get you special ingredients! My friends and I have been coming here for years, and each year the camp host Igor helps us prepare a new adventure. We have hiked through wilderness to nearby Reed Pond, visited old trains in the wilderness (left over from logging operations over 100 years ago), and taken advantage of the many maintained walking trails on the property and across the lake. Igor helps us identify safe, fun activities that our whole group can enjoy. He clearly loves the place and the lifestyle and is eager to share his joy with his guests. Fishing guides and hunting guides are available for hire. There is a target shooting range on the property for those interested. Bradford Camps is a unique, special part of the world, offering people the chance to really get away from it all, while still living in comfort. Highly recommended!

Very peaceful and quiet. You're in the middle of nowhere but it's heaven
