Wyonegonic Counselors and Activity Instructors live with campers in lakefront cabins in our beautiful Maine wilderness setting. They contribute to the happiness and confidence of campers as they act as positive role models, supervise, teach and encourage. Counselors also instruct in at least one activity area in our non-competitive camp program.
