Located in Casco, Maine, Camp
Arcadia is a summer
sleep-away camp for girls. 2012 will be our 97th year.
New experiences of happiness, friendship, growth and
being at home in the out-of-doors – these are our goals for each of our 180
campers. The Maine
woods, lakes, and fields stimulate an interest in the natural world.
Living with others, in a residential camp, leads to abiding friendships and self-confidence.
Participating in our rich, full program encourages the development of
individual abilities.
Since 1916 the same family has guided Camp Arcadia. Anne Henderson Fritts, Louise Henderson, and Louise Fritts Johnson
currently represent the third and fourth generation of Directors. Anne's
other children, Katherine, Jeanie and Frank, are also involved in various
aspects of Arcadia.
The foundation of Camp Arcadia is the belief that each girl
should, with guidance, plan and carry out her own individual summer camp program and that
she should attain proficiency in our Basic Activities - boating, campcraft,
canoeing, and swimming. Each camper
and her parents choose her elective activities in the spring. Activities are scheduled by interest and
ability, rather than by age or lodge units.
Our usual daily program is interspersed with canoe and hiking trips as
well as other special activities.
