10 Things Every Mainer Has Out To Camp

Walk into most Maine camps and you'll notice similarities.

Camps in Maine are filled with family gatherings during the warm summer months.  Lobsters are boiled and there are fishing poles everywhere. The dogs run wild, as do the kids, as they jump into the pond from the end of the dock as their parents applaud from the porch.
