Camp Tracy

At Camp Tracy, our 32-acre facility on the waterfront of McGrath Pond in Oakland provides the traditional Maine Summer Camp experience, where the spirit of adventure meets the joys of friendship in the great outdoors. Camp Tracy is also home to Maine’s Fenway a 2/3 scale turfed MLB replica of Fenway Park in Boston. With a unique blend of day camps, residential sports camps, sports tournaments, team-building retreats, and special events; Camp Tracy is truly a one-of-a-kind facility.
