Camp Arcadia

Family Camp at Arcadia has been a tradition for over 28 years... and we are now in the midst of planning another fantastic week for 2009. We promise a week full of adventures! Camp Arcadia is a truly unique place to spend a week with your family or friends.

At Family Camp, you are welcome to participate in our sailing regatta, tennis tournament, campfires and trail rides, or simply relax on our white sand beach. The atmosphere is casual. You will stay in a screened cabin with a front porch, deck chairs and a view of Pleasant Lake. All cabins have running water and some with electricity and fireplaces. Hot showers are located in our central shower house.

Our meals are healthy and plentiful. We offer family style dining, featuring buffet and made-to-order breakfast, breakfast baskets delivered to your cabin, picnics at the beach and an outdoor Gala Dinner featuring fresh Maine lobster! Each evening we host a Social Hour on our Main Lodge porch, with hot and cold appetizers and refreshments. You are welcome to bring your own beverages for Social Hour and dinner.

Arcadia Family Camp brings friends and families together for laughter, fun and great memories. If you or any of your friends are interested in joining us in Maine this summer, please contact us for more information or to register.
