Earth Day at Maine Camps
April 22, 2024
Happy Earth Day from one of the most beautiful places on Earth - Maine Camps! Since the inception of Earth Day in 1970, billions of people across hundreds of countries celebrate Earth Day by appreciating our environment and taking steps to preserve our planet.
At Maine Camps, children and teens gain a real appreciation for their natural surroundings. They spend lots of quality time at camp on big, crystal clear lakes that are great for swimming, sailing, kayaking, paddle boarding, and more. There is nothing like jumping into a refreshing Maine Camp lake on a warm summer day! And, memorable rafting, canoe, and lobster boat out-of-camp excursions provide campers with even more coveted time on the. water.
On land, campers enjoy the smell of fresh pine in the air as they play sports, experience the arts, and embark on outdoor adventures from ropes courses to hikes to overnight camping trips.
Being surrounded by this much natural beauty gives campers a sense of calm and well being. It helps their mental, physical, and emotional health. Being out in nature really nourishes mind, body, and soul. Experiences like hearing the melodic call of the loons on the lake under a starry Maine sky are distinctive, unique, and special.
In addition to experiencing nature, campers also help preserve it. Many Maine Camps engage campers in volunteer experiences like working with local farms, helping park conservation groups, assisting recycling organizations, and participating in lake and ocean clean ups. Maine Camps also look for environmentally conscious ways to run camp like growing fruits and vegetables, sourcing food from local farms, composting leftover food, and using environmentally friendly plates and utensils.
Spending time at Maine Camps is a great way for campers to enjoy the natural world, as well as to help take care of planet Earth for a better today and a brighter future.
