Timanous is located 22 miles from Portland Maine on a large lake with open fields and pine forests. Timanous has 125 campers and boasts an impressive return rate of both campers and counselors. Our small size gives Timanous a real family feel where everyone knows everyone and campers and counselors of all ages interact. Our camper to counselor ratio is at least 3 to 1. 90% of our counselors were Timanous campers and average over 10 years at camp. Many are teachers in the “off” season. Timanous is not a luxury camp. Our emphasis is on the benefits to the boys of a simple, healthful, life among interested, capable, and caring people. The campers and counselors live in wooden cabins with no electricity. Modern bathrooms are located in close proximity to the cabins.
