Camp Mahackeno is part of Westport history. More than 300 years ago, the Indian Sachem Mahackemo (spelled with an 'm') used the property as a summer lodge for himself and his tribe. In 1938, Camp Mahackeno began as a "stay at home camp" for boys. The original camp was a rugged place with about fifteen small cottages, all in some form of disrepair, scattered throughout lower camp. Water had to be carried to camp in those early days, since camp had no running water systems.
Mahackeno became a camp for both boys and girls in 1969. Camp Mahackeno is as strong today as it was in the olden days and understands the importance of providing an appropriate summer camp for your child. It provides stimulating and challenging programming - balanced to meet each camper's needs - in the safest and most comfortable enviroment. These activity options mean many opportunities for enrichment and success.
