Vacation at Camp Arcadia
Thank you for your interest in embarking on a rustic getaway at Camp Arcadia in Southern Maine.
​
Vacationing at Camp Arcadia has been a tradition for over 45 years; our 367-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 and close to nature.
​
During our Alumnae and Family Camp, each family/group will have their own 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.
​​
Alumnae and Family Camp is a great location for extended families to get together, or for friends to have a reunion.

Our meals are healthy and plentiful. We offer family-style dining in our screened dining room, made-to-order or breakfast buffet, breakfast baskets delivered to your cabin, picnics at the beach, and a Gala Dinner featuring fresh Maine lobster!

ENJOY A UNIQUE FAMILY ADVENTURE IN MAINE
After being out of touch with Arcadia for almost 35 years, I’m overjoyed to reconnect and have the awesome chance to bring my family to Family Camp.
Being back has rekindled my enormous love for this place. The happiest summers of my childhood happened here and I attribute my lifelong love of camping, backpacking, canoeing, and hiking to the skills and fun I gained while at Camp. Thank you for running Family Camp so people can bring their loved ones to experience some of the magic.
During our weeks of Alumnad and Family Camp, you are welcome to design your own week. Our waterfront will be open for swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking, and sailing. Our tennis and pickleball courts will be open for practice or matches. You can sign up for private Archery or Sailing lessons, dropin-in/out of our Arts and Crafts or Weaving studios. Or, simply relax on our white sand beach.
Arcadia Alumnae and Family Camp brings friends and families together for laughter, fun, and great memories.
