History

Maine Teen Camp was established in 1984 by Kris Kamys and Jay & Karen Stager. MTC is located between Trafton Pond and Stanley Lake at the site of the former Camp Hiawatha for Girls (formed in the 1918-20s). MTC is a specialty program for teenagers 13–17, and has a stated goal to provide each camper with a variety of camp experiences, in a safe and supportive environment. MTC promotes a sense of community, friendship, and personal growth and leadership. With 4500 feet of lakefront the camp is almost totally surrounded by water.

Evening Activities include theme dances, a beach party, talent night, coffee house, feature movies, an Independence Day celebration, live band night, The MTC Music Awards, a cabin challenge, casino night, hero hunt, treasure hunt, lip sync competitions, international night, guest performances and, of course, campfires with song!

Winter offices are in Westbrook, Maine.[1]

Maine Teen Camp was formerly owned by Robert Briskin, who died on November 17, 2003.[2]. MTC is currently owned and operated by husband and wife team Matthew Pines & Monique Rafuse-Pines.
