Camp Runoia Alumnae Organization
The Camp Runoia Alumnae Organization is a nonprofit organization based in Maine, United States. It is associated with Camp Runoia, a traditional summer camp for girls located on Great Pond in Belgrade Lakes, Maine.
History
Camp Runoia was founded in 1907 by Lucy Weiser and Jessie Pond on the northeastern side of Hatch Cove on Great Pond. The camp has a rich history of promoting outdoor activities, educational experiences, and personal growth for young women. The alumnae organization itself was established in the 1980s to provide financial assistance to campers through the Betty Cobb Campership Fund, named after Betty Cobb, a former owner and director of Camp Runoia[3][4].
Purpose
The organization's main purpose is to support and enhance the Camp Runoia experience, with a focus on providing financial aid to ensure that girls from various backgrounds can participate in the camp's programs. It also organizes events and activities to engage alumnae and foster a sense of community among past and present campers[2][4].
Financial Overview
As a nonprofit entity, the Camp Runoia Alumnae Organization relies on contributions, investment income, and other revenue sources to fund its activities. Donations to the organization are tax-deductible. The organization has significant financial resources, with substantial assets and no reported liabilities[2].
Governance and Programs
The organization is governed by a board of directors consisting of alumnae who contribute their time and expertise voluntarily. Key programs include fundraising activities such as the Oak Island Swim, which help raise money for the Betty Cobb Campership Fund. These efforts support a significant number of campers each summer, providing them with partial financial assistance to attend Camp Runoia[2][4].

We’re so excited to welcome campers this summer to Hartwood, our brand-new arts pavilion! Nestled in the heart of camp, this bright and beautiful space is where creativity will bloom—whether it’s painting, crafting, leatherwork, basket making or something totally new! Why the name Hartwood? It’s inspired by the heartwood of a tree—its strong, central core—and the heart of Runoia: where creativity, connection, and courage grow. We can’t wait to see all the amazing projects our campers create here. Stay tuned for more photos and art straight from Hartwood all summer long! 💛🌲🖌️ #CampRunoia #SummerCamp2025 #ArtsAtCamp #CreativityGrowsHere #CampMagic #summercamp (fb)
