At Camp Waziyatah, who we are is more important than what we have. We’re lucky to be on private lake on a gorgeous property in Maine, but we’re not a country club – and we’re not a survivalist boot camp either. Our cabins are comfortable, with running water and hot showers, but our true focus is on growth, fun, and great activities in the great outdoors.
We value every camper for who they are, and we’re proudly old-school in the ways that matter: no participation medals for 15th place, no tech, no cliques, and no tolerance for bullying. At Wazi, honors are earned, trying new things is paramount, joy is everywhere, and life-long friendships are built. Our staff truly knows and cares for each camper, and no one falls through the cracks.

Mission Statement
Camp Waziyatah’s mission is to build better kids, one summer at a time. Wazi provides a safe and enjoyable camp experience and an opportunity for campers to make life-long friends, learn skills, increase self-esteem and promote personal growth. Our program enriches the lives of campers and promotes our core values through a healthy and fun outdoor experience.
Summers at Wazi help kids become stronger, more independent people who learn to get along with others, and care for each other and the environment around them. Camp Waziyatah does not allow cliques or groups or ostracizing or bullying of any kind and there are never divisions between previous and new campers. Wazi campers live in a welcoming and close-knit community with kids from all over the United States and the world.
“This camp was life-changing for our daughter this past summer. She gained confidence in herself that has escalated her performance in academics and her sports. We would recommend this camp to anyone looking for a summer experience that carries over to the rest of the year.”
“What an amazing camp! My daughter had the time of her life at Wazi. She has made friends for life and can’t wait to come back in the summer. We live in NYC and I was on the fence about sending her so far away. So glad I took the chance – she loved it! Wazi is a special place thanks to Gregg and the team.”
