View from the dam on Moose Pond, Denmark, Maine facing Bridgton, Maine. The C. E. Cobb boathouses and boats can be seen on the left. Wyonegonic, a pioneer in camping history, was established in 1902 by Mr. and Mrs. C.E. Cobb, educators long interested in the training and welfare of girls. A perfect setting was found in Denmark, Maine among cathedral pines on the shores of a beautiful lake nestled in the foothills of the White Mountains. This natural wonderland secluded from civilization has filled Wyonegonic campers with inspiration and sent them into the world strengthened in mind and body and enriched with lasting memories. Wyonegonic Camps Wyonegonic, the oldest continuously run camp for girls, was founded in 1902. 3 ½ and 7 week programs are offered for girls age 8-18. Wyonegonic offers a non-competitive atmosphere which allows campers to build confidence. Emphasis is on personal development and group cooperation. Wyonegonic is composed of three camps; Junior, Intermediate and Senior. These units are designed to fit the needs and interests of each age group. Each unit is a close-knit community that is small enough to kindle deep friendships and personalized attention. Campers live with a counselor in a cabin group of girls their age. Cabin counselors are carefully selected as positive role models and make the needs of their campers top priority. Program is individualized for each camper based on their goals and interests. Particular focus is on waterfront activities and outdoor living skills. Campers choose from traditional activities such as swimming, tennis, sailing, horseback riding, canoeing, archery and creative arts. Age appropriate ropes courses add adventure, challenge and group problem solving. Canoe and hiking trips are offered for all ages from 1-6 days in length in Maine and New Hampshire. Typical clientele represents 30 states and 11 foreign countries. Wyonegonic and Winona are the oldest Brother/Sister camps in the country.
