Welcome to Maine Arts Camp

Unleash Creativity. Build Confidence. Find Your People.
Maine Arts Camp is a vibrant, close-knit arts camp where creative kids and teens thrive. Located in Tilton, New Hampshire and within easy reach of Boston and greater New England, our summer camp limits each session to just 90 campers. This allows every camper to receive the personal attention they deserve while growing artistically, socially, and emotionally in a supportive, inspiring environment.
Here, campers dive into performing arts, visual arts, film, digital art, culinary arts, creative writing, outdoor adventures, and more. Surrounded by like-minded peers and guided by exceptional staff, including professional artists, teachers, and experienced camp leaders, campers build confidence, resilience, and lifelong friendships.
Being a small New Hampshire summer camp means we truly know our campers. We learn their names, passions, and needs. It also allows us to thoughtfully select an outstanding staff, ensuring each child receives expert guidance and encouragement throughout their experience.
Maine Arts Camp believes in a strong partnership with parents. By understanding your camper before camp even begins, we help them shine while building skills, friendships, and memories that last a lifetime.
Ready to inspire your creativity? Join us this summer at Maine Arts Camp.

What Parents are Saying
I can’t tell you how much it means to us to know that the Maine Arts Camp counselors are not just caring for our kids but are also truly getting to know them as well!

A much more secure girl came home from camp, loving who she is and celebrating her differences. Thank you for fostering that in her. We look forward to seeing you again next year!
– Jen P., Rye, NH
You have put together an amazing staff, kept numbers smaller, provided an unbelievable variety of things for them to try, made things very personal, interesting, exciting, relaxed and fun. I love the college campus where you are located, too!
– Karyn & Dan B., Amherst, NH.
Very nurturing camp! Warm and welcoming to everyone. No cliques. My daughter went by herself, not knowing anyone and feeling a little down before she left. She came home on top of the world! She made new friends and felt like she really fit in. It was a great experience for her at the right time!
– June B., Weston, FL
