Located on over 300 acres near the coast, our international Maine summer camp features the finest in visual and performing arts, challenging outdoor adventures, horse-riding and much more on 330 acres with a private lake and heated pool near the Maine coast.

Depending on your interest, HVC is an art camp, a horse camp, an outdoor adventure camp, a performing arts camp, a dance camp, or a water sports camp. Or — because you choose your activities — it can be all of these! Professional staff provide challenging individualized teaching and counseling designed to foster independence, community and creativity in all dimensions of children’s summer experience.

Campers come from all over the US and 5 continents. Great food, many choices, support for allergies. Directors have lived on site for over 20 years. A parent writes: “It is a truly extraordinary camp, fun, interesting, inclusive, and with the kind of values that indirectly teach kids how to be better human beings. Each year my kids go there, I see so many positive changes when they return home.”
