Picture This at Maine Camps

Picture this, your child gets to spend a summer or several weeks in a beautiful place. Swimming in huge, clean natural lakes, breathing fresh pine-tree-infused air, and enjoying sunshine outside.

Picture this, your child is off cell phones, social media, gaming devices, and TV and completely satisfied, occupied, and engaged in the real world. Campers are connecting with peers, having fun, and building their confidence, independence, and resilience.

Picture this, your child is enjoying 50+ incredible activities and learning new skills. Like photography, for example, your child is seeing life through a new lens. In addition to learning about taking photos and developing film, campers are swimming, sailing, skiing on the lake, singing in shows, playing soccer, lacrosse, golf, tennis, basketball, dancing, cooking, fencing, fishing, riding horses, woodworking, and so much more!

Picture this, your child is seeing the world more broadly. With campers and staff from every US state and several countries around the world, your camper is opening his/her horizons. Meeting people from all over. While seeing “other kids do it,” campers are open to trying new foods and activities like climbing to new heights on the rock wall or learning to waterski.

Picture this, your child is part of an amazing community … in a cabin group, in an age group, in a division, and on a team. In addition to the campers at your child’s camp now, your child is connecting to past and future generations of campers at that camp. And, your child is part of a network of campers from the collective Maine Camps community. Being a part of a community builds connection, happiness, teamwork, sportsmanship, and more essential skills.

Picture this - your camper is accruing incredible experiences summer after summer that build an enriched life.
