Established in 1927 by the Pine Tree Council, Boy Scouts of America, Camp William Hinds covers nearly 300 acres of vast wildlife. Annually, RYLA is hosted by the Boy Scout camp which is situated in Raymond, Maine. During the summer, Camp Hinds operates as a fully functioning Boy Scout Camp and meets the standards upheld by the B.S.A. National Office for an Accredited Boy Scout Summer Camp. Over fifty trained Boy Scout staff members make it possible for the camp to run smoothly and are critical to making RYLA possible.
Camp Hinds is located at 146 Plains Rd, Raymond, ME 04071

The usage of Camp Hinds and its facilities for RYLA’s needs is a privilege, not a guarantee. We work hard to maintain a great relationship with the Boy Scouts; one that allows us to come back every year to continue the RYLA tradition. We are grateful for the Boy Scouts’ kindness and thank them for their commitment to running camp while we are there.
