Summer Camp Special Events and Trips

Our sessions are packed with fun and exciting special events that are some of the highlights of the summer. Our evening activities vary each night, but are known to include council fires, evening leagues, talent shows, and capture the flag. Campers also love when we have Carnivals, inter-camp competitions and Cobba-haus (an ice cream party).

By far our most exciting and talked about special events are Tribal Games and Color War. Tribal Games are held during first session and the camp is split into four teams for intense competition in all sorts of wild and crazy activities. Color War occurs second session, but this time the camp is divided into two teams. There is always mystery surrounding the beginning of Tribal Games and Color War since only a couple people at camp know when it is, making breaks that much more exciting. Past breaks have included helicopters dropping thousands of ping pong balls over camp, stretch Hummer limos, and real S.W.A.T teams. Both Tribal Games and Color War bring together our philosophy on teamwork and sportsmanship, and allow campers to showcase the new skills they have developed during the summer both on and off the field.

Additionally, every camper will go on an age-appropriate trip during their summer. We offer various hiking, climbing, canoeing, and camping trips to various destinations in Maine. One of the most popular trips is an overnight trip to Spirit Island, our own private island located just 200 feet from camp. Every Wednesday is Trip Day, where campers go to popular destinations out of camp, such as: The Maine Wildlife Park, Old Orchard Beach, or trips to see the Portland Sea Dogs, a local minor league baseball team. Our oldest campers (who have completed 7th grade and higher) participate in one of Maine’s best attractions: white water rafting!
