About Tanglewood

Tanglewood 4-H Camp and Learning Center is a nonprofit organization partnering with the University of Maine Cooperative Extension to accomplish a common goal—"to leave no child or adult inside".

Tanglewood has been getting the people of Maine outdoors and teaching them to be respectful protectors of the Earth for more than 25 years, reaching over 3,500 youth and adults each year. Our programming is year-round, providing affordable nature-based experiences for all ages from two locations.

Tanglewood

Tanglewood is situated on the Ducktrap river in a beautiful 940-acre forested section of Camden Hills State Park. The facility was originally constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s and has 47 rustic buildings in addition to a swimming area, pond, playing field, and an extensive network of hiking and cross-country ski trails. There is also a near-by organic garden site and access to a canoeing site.

Blueberry Cove 

Blueberry Cove is situated on a hilltop overlooking the beautiful Tenants Harbour in the town of St. George. Prior to Tanglewood's acquisition in 2005 the site had been operated as a private summer camp since 1949. The site features 1,400 feet of protected beach and salt marsh, a dock, garden site, spruce forest and a meadow.
