Sikorsky history at Bradford Camps


Karen and I own and run the Bradford Camps. We operate the camps from the spring ice out in May through the deer hunting season in November. We are centered in the middle of The North Maine Woods on Munsungan Lake, a 1500-acre pristine deep-water lake. Wild trout and salmon are caught in the lake and numerous outlying ponds and streams provide excellent fly fishing opportunities.

My attraction to Maine's woods started when I was a boy, spending summers at Cobb's Pierce Pond Camps in Western Maine. I spent all of my childhood summers at Wilderness Bound, the boys camp, and then went on to help at the Cobb's Sporting Camps nearby. My lifelong dream to make the sporting camp my carreer started at the age of ten.

Karen and I met in 1985 and our first vacation together was the summer of 1986, a two-week canoe trip down the Allagash River. I could tell by her enjoyment of the trip, even with its physical demands and weather hardships, that "my dream" could become "our dream". And so it has. Because of Bradford Camps and because of Karen there are many days each year that I consider myself the luckiest man alive.
