Child Readiness
Opportunities for Growth
Maine has so many unique and wonderful summer camps from which to choose. MCE Camps offer tremendous growth opportunities and provide a positive environment for your child by fostering independence, self-confidence, socialization, mastery of new skills, community and lifelong friendships.
A Milestone in Life
Overnight camp is a milestone in a child’s development. The first question parents often ask is: “Is my child ready for sleepaway camp?” Most children make the transition to overnight camp with ease, but here are some important questions to consider:
- Is your child physically and emotionally ready for overnight camp?
- Has your child had a successful sleepover at a friend or relative’s house?
- Can they handle a longer program day?
- Is your child no longer finding his or her day camp fulfilling?
- Is your child ready to experience new programs not offered at day camps?
- Does your child have friends who are beginning to discuss overnight camp?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, it’s time to begin looking at an MCE Camp.
Gaining Confidence
ERIN
At camp I learned self confidence, how to step outside my comfort zone, and how to set a goal and achieve it. I have similarly watched so many campers grow and accomplish their goals and overcome their fears. It has without a doubt been the most shaping experience of my life so far and has played a massive role in the person I am today.
Developing New Skills
EVAN
O-AT-KA is an extraordinary camp. It allows boys to discover the possibilities of spending summers exploring, meeting new kids, making lifelong friends, developing new skills, finding a new passion, helping a stranger and that stranger becoming a buddy.
