Being a staff member at Laurel South is far more than a summer job... it's an unforgettable experience in beautiful surroundings... and a rare opportunity to reach your full potential as you help others reach theirs. Laurel South is a very special kind of camp, a down-to-earth place where you will meet and make friends of all ages - from all over the world - and form bonds that will last a lifetime. Most of all, it's a place where a family feeling is encouraged and both campers and staff are urged to be themselves.

Camp Laurel South is located near Portland, Maine in the heart of the Sebago Lake Region. Its 150 unspoiled acres include woodlands, sports fields and open lawns. The Camp's 2500 feet of private shoreline along sparkling Crescent Lake features a magnificent natural sandy beach and access to more than 3 miles of exceptionally clear waters. The area is famous for warm, sunny days and cool, comfortable nights and boasts 50 lakes within a 25 mile radius. It's location in the southern part of Maine makes Laurel South a most inviting summer retreat for campers, counselors and summer vacationers. Top of Page

Each summer, Laurel South operates two four-week programs with 340 boys and girls ranging in age from 7 to 15 in each session. They come from all over the U.S. as well as several foreign countries. The return rate for both campers and staff is very high - thanks, in part, to our efforts to make each summer slightly different, more challenging, a continuing growth experience and, most of all, fun.

Sending a child to camp is a tremendous act of faith by parents. At Laurel South, we accept that responsibility very seriously and maintain an environment that both encourages safety and health and reinforces a positive self-image. We also aim to introduce campers to new activities, provide them with opportunities for emotional and physical growth, facilitate their natural abilities and instill in them the benefits of group living. Our ultimate goal at Laurel South is to provide an enjoyable, exciting summer experience that motivates our campers to approach the future with courage, confidence and a feeling of self worth.

We create a warm, family feeling at Laurel South in a number of ways. We limit enrollment; facilitate continuous skill improvement throughout the summer; stress personal development no matter what the inherent abilities of a camper may be; and, lastly, work to create an atmosphere of love, care and attention to the individual.
