Whatever the occasion, spend it at Somerset. Nestled along East Pond in central Maine, the residential summer camp sits on 50 acres of well-maintained fields, pristine forest, and sparkling water. Comfortable cabins provide accommodations for up to 500 and the dining hall overlooks the lake, with plenty of room and appeal for all your guests.

Camp Somerset is available for rent in September and October and is a perfect venue for reunions, weddings, corporate or religious retreats, sports camps, seminars, or anything else you can conceive!

Somerset owner Josh Hahn serves as the on-site event coordinator and spent 15 years in the restaurant business with experience handling parties large and small. We will custom tailor a unique and memorable experience for your group, based upon your vision. Our chefs are on hand to prepare meals and satisfy any culinary preference. We are also happy to supply a list of preferred vendors including rentals, photographer, florists, hairdressers, and more.
