About Clearwater Forest

Most of Clearwater Forest's 1,016 acres of forest and 3.5 miles of lakeshore are pristine and undeveloped. The camp is home to an astonishing variety of plant and wildlife species: Towering pine trees more than 200 years old and delicate yellow Lady-slippers can be found within 100 feet of the Dining Hall. Bald eagles, osprey, loons, owls, hawks, and a great many other birds are part of the camp's ecological community, as well as bear, deer, fox, porcupine, raccoon, ermine, and other creatures. Clearwater Lake's surface area is approximately 900 acres, and is filled with a healthy variety of fish.
