As a Maine summer camp, we are able to take advantage of the rugged beauty of our natural setting. We involve our boy and girl campers in programs that expose them to Maine's environment and use the teaching opportunities that arise from such experiences. We accomplish these goals through a dynamic Christian summer camp and year round program.

Our mission is founded on the Bible, the primary source of truth to the Christian faith. We host camps and retreats at our conference center in Coastal Maine as well as offering our conference center as a rental site for your own school, homeschool, church event and group events. Whether it's one of our programs that you attend or our facilities you rent (we provide the food and housing, you set your own schedule); Fair Haven has the facilities, activities and year round staff to make your experience unforgettable.

Camp Laurel employs about 250 counselors for the summer. The majority of our staff are considered Activity Counselors, while a smaller number of staff are hired to work as General Counselors with our youngest campers (ages 7-10).

Activity Counselors teach a specific activity (Tennis, Waterskiing, Rock Climbing, etc.) throughout the day. General Counselors work with our youngest campers (ages 7-10), travel to/from their activities and help them in their activities. Activity Counselors and General Counselors share many commonalities. All counselors live in a cabin with campers, eat meals with their campers, spend Rest Hour and Rec Time with them, supervise cabin clean-ups and participate in evening programs and special day events.

In addition to Counseling Staff, we also hire staff to work in our Summer Office, Health Center (Nurses and Nursing Assistants), on our Food Service Staff and Maintenance Staff.
