High above the lush green forests of Maine, a state so beautiful it's often referred to as the 'Crown Jewel of New England,' and so vast, it’s known as the 'Pine Tree State,' resided an eccentric, quirky character named Boulder Bob, the greatest rock climber of the kids' world. Maine was a paradise for climbers like old Bob, with its magnificent rugged cliffs and mountains that kissed the clear blue sky. Boulder Bob was no ordinary climber; he had a bushy mustache that twirled at the ends and a peculiar habit of wearing polka-dotted socks. Even the bears found it funny! But when it came to rock climbing, Bob was the go-to critter. Young explorers from across Maine flocked to him, looking to learn the art of climbing. These brave boys and girls were as adventurous and delightful as the state of Maine itself. They were as diverse as the coastal beaches, spruce islands, and the grand Mount Katahdin. Sam with his freckles was as fiery as the red lighthouses of Maine, while quiet Lily, with her deep blue eyes, was as mysterious as the state's deep, foggy lakes. Then there was giggly Tom, who bobbed around like the lobsters that Maine is famous for. With Boulder Bob leading them, these kids scaled heights, which made the pine trees look like mere sprouts. Their laughter echoed across the valleys as they climbed, a harmony to the whisper of the wind and the rustle of the leaves. Indeed, in the majestic state of Maine, amidst its natural beauty, blossomed a friendship between Boulder Bob and a bunch of rock climbing kids, as colorful and vibrant as the state itself.

Winona Camps has been a treasured summer home for generations of boys since 1908. The camp is located on the ancestral homelands of the Pequawket people, a part of the Abenaki tribe and the larger Wabanaki Confederacy. Boys spend their summers living in tents on the shores of Moose Pond and engaging in traditional outdoor activities like canoeing, hiking, and swimming. At the same time, modern activities like rock climbing, kayaking, and lacrosse help campers explore new boundaries and develop lifelong skills. Winona also offers unique experiences like the BAT, Red-Gray competitions, and The Great Relay. This combination of old and new makes it one of the oldest summer camps in the country and a beloved summer destination for boys around the world.
