Spend an amazing summer with a great group of campers and counselors on a beautiful lake in Southern Maine, 22 miles from Portland. With 130 campers and 60 staff, it is a very welcoming and supportive community. When people visit Timanous, their number one comment is how nice the campers and staff are. It truly is a special place which is confirmed by our very high rate of return of both staff and campers (we are full for the upcoming summer).

Timanous is a traditional boys summer camp with a healthy population. The health center is staffed with three full time nurses ensuring plenty of time for rest and relaxation. Our current nurses are returning for their 10th and 12th summers, both coming to Timanous as new graduates. Health Staff work together and are responsible for all aspects of the camps health and wellness program.

The choice to work at Camp Timanous is one which will be rewarding, exciting, and sometimes challenging but the return rate of staff should tell you that this is a unique place to work and we are confident you would have an amazing experience.
