Vacation at Camp Arcadia
Thank you for your interest in embarking on a rustic getaway at Camp Arcadia in Southern Maine. We have three options available depending on your interests, the size of your group and vacation dates.
​
Vacationing at Camp Arcadia has been a tradition for over 37 years; our 365-acre campus on Pleasant Lake in Casco, Maine is a truly unique place to spend a vacation with your friends or family.
​
We offer the ability to truly disconnect and spend quality time with your family and friends in a bucolic setting. The atmosphere is casual. We can help you plan day trips around Maine or you can stay and enjoy the property and activities.
​
If you will be with us during one of our Family Camp weeks 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 have electricity and fireplaces. Hot showers are located in our central shower house.
​
Our meals are healthy and plentiful. We offer family style dining, made-to-order or breakfast buffet, breakfast baskets delivered to your cabin, picnics at the beach and an outdoor Gala Dinner featuring fresh Maine lobster!

ENJOY A UNIQUE FAMILY ADVENTURE IN MAINE
I was grateful to be a guest and had a wonderful time with friends. Lots of child oriented programs and great selection of adult (more yoga, meditation, writing of poetry or non-fiction or fiction, walks in the evening) options.
During our week of Family Camp, you are welcome to participate in all of our activities as a family or on your own. Activities include paddle boarding, arts & crafts, our sailing regatta, tennis tournament, campfires, trail rides and distant swims, or simply relax on our white sand beach.
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.
