The Chewonki Foundation is a non-profit institution in Wiscasset, Maine, that runs educational programs with an environmental focus.

Founded in 1915 as a summer camp for boys, the Foundation now runs a four month high school program, Chewonki Semester School (formerly called the Maine Coast Semester), boys and girls summer camp programs, wilderness trips for teenagers and families, an organic farm, traveling natural history programs where non-releasable wildlife are brought to schools and libraries, as well as week long environmental education programs for school groups around New England. Willard Morgan is the President of the foundation, Garth Altenburg is the Director of the boys summer camp, and Genell Vashro is the Director of the girls camp program.

The Chewonki Foundation is located on a 400-acre (1.6 km²) peninsula between Westport Island and the town of Woolwich. The peninsula protrudes into Montsweag Bay.
