Bangor's summer camp scene perfectly captures Maine's blend of wilderness adventure and enriching activities. The city's crown jewel is the Bangor YMCA Wilderness Center at Camp Jordan, sprawling across 200 acres along Branch Lake, where kids dive into everything from water sports to outdoor skills in a classic sleep-away camp setting. Nature takes center stage here, but you'll also find unique STEM experiences at the Challenger Learning Center, where young astronauts-in-training explore space science through hands-on activities.
For creative kids, the Zillman Art Museum runs engaging art camps that tap into Maine's rich artistic heritage. What really sets Bangor's camps apart is their accessibility - with most sessions priced under $200, families can give their kids an unforgettable summer without breaking the bank.
