Camp Fernwood is an all-girls residential summer camp on a lake in Poland, Maine, founded in 1921 for campers ages 7–15. It runs a single 6.5-week session in which girls live in historic wooden bunks and immerse themselves in traditional activities, with weekly trips for hiking, canoeing, and camping in the Maine outdoors. Younger campers are paired with older 'big sisters' for built-in support.

★★★★★Elise Popovicmy friend goes here and she says it is the most amazing place in the world!! Highly recommended!
★Mikaela PearsonLiterally traumatised me. I went in 2020 (start of Covid) and was bullied about my ethnicity, and was the victim of violence while attending. I have never been more traumatised and now I need to go to therapy because of this trauma. Gave me PTSD. Please don’t go :)
