Founded in 1926, Kieve is a boys’ summer camp on Damariscotta Lake in Nobleboro, Maine. Kieve is a Celtic verb meaning to strive in emulation of – to work hard to acquire skills, knowledge, and attitudes from others so as to improve yourself – and the program is built on this foundation, providing a staff full of tremendous role models worthy of emulation.
Campers ranging from 8-17 years old experience a wide variety of in-camp activities and a set of increasingly longer and more challenging wilderness trips as they get older.
Kieve runs two 26-day sessions and two 10-day Junior Kieve sessions for boys in grades 2-4.
