4. Who are Maine Golf Academy and Tennis
Academy Campers?
We accept 130 boys and girls, beginners
to advanced golf and/or tennis devotees from all
over the world, who enjoy playing, laughing, and growing
together; campers who seek the excitement and challenge
of living cooperatively in a stimulating community.
We, their parents, and they, value strong, positive
peer relationships and build these through the challenge
of living in rustic cabins with 8- 10 other campers
from all different cultures, sacrificing the comforts
of living in their own home with all the modern conveniences
at their finger tips. They believe, as do we, they
gain much for their efforts. These courageous young
adventurers learn to covet this enclave and home
away from home for the thrill of gaining the wonderful
benefits of sharing their passions, challenges and
living space with others. Most notably they are excited
about devoting their weeks with us to learning and
practicing one or both of their favorite sports in
a traditional Maine summer camp environment.
 
Most MGA campers come from the Eastern
Seaboard of the US: New England, Metro
New York, and Metro DC, but we get campers
from all over of the US: California,
The Carolinas, Wisconsin, Michigan, Florida,
Texas, and Alabama. Our International
campers come from Great Britain, Italy,
Mexico, Spain, France, Germany, Austria,
Sweden, Switzerland, Ireland, Scotland, Portugal, other Eastern
and Western European countries, Kuwait, Venezuela, Brazil, Korea,
China, Japan and Canada. Camp is truly an American international
community, with 90% US campers and about 10% international campers.
We offer ESL or ESOL (English as a Second Language) optional
instruction to help international campers
develop skills in conversational English
and bond more strongly with their cabin
mates. Campers are from 25 different
countries and 35 different states across
the US.
