Sorensen Partners is Architect and Masterplanner for 42-acre Camp Somerset for Girls in Smithfield, Maine. Historic Camp Somerset operated between 1921 and 1986. The new owners are resurrecting the spectacular site as a premier outdoor learning environment.
Our architecture and masterplanning work includes the dining hall, gymnasium, office and health buildings, theater, social hall, cabins, creative buildings, courts, fields, signage, fences, and layout of roads, paths, and utility infrastructure. Civil and building engineering firm AE Hodsdon Engineers of Waterville, Maine is our professional collaborator, providing detailed permitting and technical work on the site and systems.
The site is designed around an historic allee of white pine, which will welcome visitors today as it did over the last century. The new buildings become a part of their rustic setting with shapes and materials inspired by nature and by the vernacular architecture of rural Maine.
Please look for updates as we begin construction. Check out Camp Somerset's Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram pages for a peek at what's to come.
