Explore, Relax, and Enjoy

On The Water

  • Explore the ever changing tidepools along our Pebble Beach, wade into the bracing waters of Penobscot Bay or take a leap off our dock- a perennial rite of passage for the young or young at heart.

  • Enjoy one of our rowboats- available to all our guests on a first come first serve basis. These sturdy vessels are perfect for packing the whole family in for a row out to our nearby Spectacle Island.

  • Rent one of our kayaks, or bring your own, to explore even more of our local islands.

  • Want to bring your own boat? Moorings are available in our cove giving you the opportunity to sail (or motor) in one of the finest bays in the world.

  • Soak in the wildlife- you’ll often spot seals, porpoises and on the rare chance even a whale, right off our shores. Seabirds are a plenty- eagles and ospreys are frequently soaring overhead or diving down into the water for lunch.

Into the Woods

Just across the street from the camp driveway is the entrance to a network of trails on our own Blueberry Hill. You can choose to wander the mossy paths soaking in the silence of the spruce forest, or trek to the top where you’ll find wild blueberry patches and stunning views overlooking the water.

You can find other hiking trails at nearby Holbrook Island Sanctuary. Located right on Cape Rosier, the sanctuary boasts a beautiful array of trails, picnic spots, and beaches.

Cozy at Camp

Hiram Blake’s is the perfect place to unwind. While there’s plenty here to fill your days, guests often tell us it’s a rare kind of place- one where there’s “nothing to do,” yet never enough time to do it all.

Inside our Dining Room and Rec Hall you’ll find a free, shared library filled with a wide variety of books, along with a communal ping-pong table, board games, card games, puzzles, and pianos ready to be enjoyed.

Outdoors, a large swing set and playground sit beside our playing field, an open space perfect for lawn games, pickup sports, or simply stretching out and enjoying the fresh air.
