Camp Susan Curtis

Since the camp opened in 1974, it has impacted the lives of more than 19,000 Maine children facing economic hardship.

The daughter of Maine Gov. Kenneth M. Curtis and Pauline B. Curtis, Susan Curtis was 11 years old when she passed away from cystic fibrosis in 1971. To support the Curtis family and honor the passing of Susan, a group came together and formed Camp Susan Curtis (CSC).

For 50 years, CSC has focused on helping Maine children who face roadblocks to education, development, and success due to financial limitations. The program serves youth in grades 5–12 and is tuition-free for all campers, who come from households with income that qualifies as economic hardship.

Focused on building confidence, resilience, and a sense of belonging, CSC campers enjoy a range of traditional summer camp activities including hiking, canoeing/kayaking, swimming, archery, biking, field sports, yoga, teambuilding, and creative arts (crafts, pottery, theater, and more).

Martin's Point Backpack Project

To further support Camp Susan Curtis, our Backpack Project donated 400 new packs filled with school supplies for every CSC camper.
