Family Camp is a casual, relaxed environment but there are a few items you should consider bringing. The weather in Maine changes quickly. Layers are always a smart choice.

- Sheets, pillows, pillow case, blankets, wash cloth and towels for each member of your group

- A lantern and/or flashlight, tissues, cups, and hand soap in each building

Please let us know if you need a crib

We offer full and half day adventures each day for children ages 3 and up. The programs, geared to the ages of the children, will keep your children active and engaged. The activities for each day will be posted in the Main Lodge before supper the day before.

Our staff will take attendance each morning and afternoon for the children’s programs. We will bill you accordingly at the end of the week. The full activity program, every morning and afternoon, Mon-Fri is $200. Part time (morning or afternoon only) is $125.

Our Nature Program was developed by educator and alumnae, Louise Smith. The Nature Program centers on active exploration of the natural world. The Nature Program will be part of our children’s program outline of the previous page.

Adult Program: We are offering activities throughout the week for adults. This is very casual. You may drop in for anything listed on the adult program schedule located on the Main Lodge porch. No need to sign up! The schedule list ‘Open Kayaking’ or ‘Open Tennis’ means a staff member proficient in the activity will be available to provide equipment for you to enjoy on your own. Please do not use any boats or other camp equipment without permission from one of our staff members.

Rainy Days: The Children’s Program will be offered in the mornings only and you will be charged accordingly. We will have our ‘Rainy Day option’ listed on the Main lodge porch.

Family Adventures: Would you like to do a short hike together as a family? Paddle to the Villa for a picnic or to Casco for ice cream? An overnight camping trip on our property? We are happy to provide ideas, equipment and transportation for group excursions.
