Located on the shores of Lake Damariscotta in Maine, Kieve has been building boys' character and teaching them wilderness skills since 1926. With a heavy focus on excursions—only half the campers are usually on-site, with the other half exploring during the regular camping trips and half-day adventures—activities also include an extensive ropes course, lacrosse, baseball, woodworking, riflery, fishing, swimming, paddle boarding, windsurfing, sailing, tennis, soccer, and photography. A more traditional camp where each boy has a duty, plus takes part in daily activities such as a flag raising and evening prayer, campers are encouraged to try new activities and widen their comfort zones. A sister camp around the lake—Wavus Camp for Girls—operates under a similar philosophy, teaching bravery, resilience, and a reverence for nature.
