While we offer 2, 3, and 4 week sessions, at Arcadia, we believe that a full season of seven weeks for new and returning campers provides the greatest opportunity to achieve Arcadia’s four goals. Campers who attend all of our Basic activities (Boating, Campcraft, Canoeing, and Swimming) regularly, build confidence in their outdoor living skills and in themselves. Additionally, campers have the ability to work on additional skills such as Tennis, Sailing, Weaving, and Theater based on their interest. Campers have the freedom to choose their own activity program throughout the entire summer, and the time necessary to develop skills in the activities they choose.

​

Our full season campers also enjoy all of the fun adventures and programming offered during the summer, including but not limited to:

• Participation in all Arcadia special ceremonies and events (e.g., Opening and Closing Candlelight Ceremonies, Arcadia’s Birthday, Club Supper, All Camp special events, Final Honors, Banquet, etc.)

• A full and flexible trips schedule, including a lodge overnight, and hiking and canoeing Trips

• Multiple shows in our Theater department and participation in our “Celebration of the Arts” night

• Intercamp competitions (e.g., sailing regattas, tennis tournaments), and social events with neighboring boys camps 

• Junior Maine Guide, American Red Cross Lifeguard Training and Wilderness First Aid programs

• Wilderness Trips

• Achievement of 4th level
